Well I want to make my youtube videos better but I always see cool views by people like the other side of the runway where they can move it and everything and the airplane just flys over it without moving the view...
Sortof like that but everywhere in the game..
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

Not me. Had FSX on for about three days. Took it off. The views was one of things I disliked about it above just about everything else. They just did not seem to me to be able to put the eye where I wanted it. It also seemed to take f-o-r-e-v-e-r to execute an instruction. The cursor would flicker such that I could barely see it. Maybe I need a more powerful computer to make it play as it should...

Theres addon program some payware ones and not as good freeware ones that allow you to move the view anywhere. I don't how you control it because I have never used the payware ones but I used a freeware one called wheelcam. Its not that great but there are good (I think) called walk and follow and others.
I think thats what you meant?
Sorry if it doesnt help.

You can move the control tower in the map screen - click on it and drag it to where you want to put it. Then select the height of the control tower above the ground. Now when you select control tower view you should be where you want to be.

[color=#000000]That only applies to FS9. In FSX it is not possible...

Of course it is. That's not the point. You cannot do it from "Map View" as was claimed... ;)

I didn't download it to the main fsx dirctory, I just download it to program files, and start it up from there while fsx is running. It should have a weird voice if it works saying "wheelcam on". Hope that helps again.
Good Luck.
