Ok, I'v heard that before.   What I really mean is when someone says I should check out, lets say KCLM, how do I find where that is? Is there a world wide chart or something?  :P

No, but something called ICAO codes which you can insert in the flightplanner/location window.  :)

Entering the cities will help...

IFR plans will help too as the ATC will tell you where to go, but the fun is in VFR flying...

You may also want to check out FSNavigator. It's payware but gives you a great flight planning tool with a world map and airport codes can be searched through it's database. It also comes with an update utility so you can see some of your add ons that don't have an FS Flight Planner entry. Well worth the money in my opinion.

use http://www.airnav.com (U.S.) for airport location, info, etc...

yep, i find airports by looking for the ICAO codes, easiest way

I remember seeing a charts program on FS9 CD1, I never really looked into it, but i think theres a lot of good airport information there too

That charts program is a demo of the Jepesen payware chart program. I think that all it has is airport diagrams, wich you can get here at simV for free with manuels service pack, and his chart viewer.
