For example,I want to see the Statue Of Liberty,but all I know is that it's located in New York...so,how can I fly to it?
Is there any add-on utility that can help to locate special buildings,scenery,events..etc,in the world of fs 2004?Or..maybe someone already built a list and put it on the net?
Please help me,I really to see something special in the fs world.. :D

Hi Chris, welcome to SimV.
Well the best way to do his is decide where you want to go, and then look it up on the internet. You'll normally find a map or it'll tell you the nearest airport, that is how I do it, adds to the adventure ;)

Ps. Macchu Picchu appears to be missing ::)

One payware packagae that I like is Abacus' EZ-Landmark V1.2   "This utility displays the "Easter eggs" and points of interest. Identifies more than 1.5+ million sites as you fly. "

You can also add to its database of locations.

I've seen it in stores, but you can also order online.

Sometimes, you must ADD the scenery (as I had to with the Mackinac Bridge)  Again, the best tactic is to look for an Airport on the map.

Here  are some screenshots.

you can also just find an airport in the same town and fly around looking for it...

if its a large town like nyc you can slew around instead...

 Thanks a lot,I've tried this tool and i like it!
 Just one question,what are "Easter eggs"?
Are they special buildings or sights that can only be visible under certain conditions?If so,how can I tell if it's
a "Easter egg" or just a ordinary building?Cause all I can
see is lots of "red landmarks description" when I use the
tool...

"Easter Eggs" are little gems that M$ programmers will put into thier program.
Example is in one flight sim I don't remember which and belive someone once posted shots of it here was when flying over a city in the UK with the sim set at a certain date and time you'll see a dinosaur (Godzilla like) rampaging through the city.
If I recall someone also posted a list of some in FS9 here awhile back???

Hi Chris, welcome

Just one question,what are "Easter eggs"?


One example of an Easter Egg: Fly near the Statue of Liberty, With a date/ time of Dec 31, any year, 23:59:00, local, and watch as the time rolls to 00:00:00.  

Only one I remember off hand.

Cheers,
Dave
