Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 - The Best Locations In The World - How To Find And Visit Them

There's probably more locations in the world than any one person can visit in an entire lifetime. Whilst Microsoft Flight Simulator doesn't have them all, it certainly does have many. But the real trick is how do you go about finding and visiting them, as a good number simply are not searchable from within the game. Let's take a look at that...

Another way of getting the GPS coordinates in Google Maps is to right-click the location one wants the coordinates for, selecting "What's here?", and then copying the coordinates that appear in the little window that pops up at the middle bottom. That way one doesn't need to guess what numbers of the URL are the ones one needs.

ObsidianAnt: * uses google maps instead of bing maps *
microsoft: ._.

I didn’t know you could do this, I’d been flying to places from the nearest airport! I flew for 40 mins to get to machu pichu to find an office building in the middle of it....

Loving the flight from Thunder Bay, Ontario to Houghton, Michigan, especially with the storms over Lake Superior right now (19-08-2020, 23:42 UTC). Gorgeous simulator.

Salt lakes of Utah are amazing as are the glaciers in Alaska!!

A tip for the annoying "landing gear" alarm on some planes when idling. Press F1 to idle throttle, and click F3 to raise throttle speed to 1%, it's like you're idle and the alarm goes away.

That's hilarious, I was thinking I need help finding good locations to visit and your video appeared in my notifications, thank you so much ObsidianAnt!!

ObsidianAnt, how did you release 5 videos in TWO DAYS? That is some really impressive output!

ATTENTION. If you are experiencing low framerate and huge fps drops, turn off airplane traffic and live weather. It will boost your fps by 10 or even more and your framerate will no longer tank. Also download the new nvidia driver. Before turning it off my fps would drop below 20 in cities and only go to 30 in the sky, now it's 30 cities and 60 in the air. My settings are on a modified version of high end.

Excellent video! This is so much faster then trying to find a nearby airport and flying in a estimated direction to search for a particular building or landmark. Thank you so much. In the UI options you can also adjust a pin to be dropped in the game for your POI.

I was amazed you could see the crack in the street by my house from the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.

5:01 ... Geez mate. Windex that canopy. Your pictures will turn out less smudgy.... LOL :) (It’s the attention to detail like this that makes FS just awesome!!)

I was surprised to find YBMM Bamawm airstrip in the sim, even though the windsock and runway boundary were missing, its the most challenging airfield to locate in real life, brings back memories

Can you do a Top 10 Bush Flying locations? Thank you for the video :)

Randomly found a group of about 20+ doing a group bush flight last night. Joined up with them and had a blast, something I haven't felt flight simming in so long.

Anyone have any tips for yoke sensitivity? I have the logitech saitek and i can't seem to find dthe sweet spot that doesn't cause me to over pitch

I think the reason 4:00 looks accurate is because they use the satellite imagery with their own water effects on top when it comes to bodies of water. That way it looks like the bottom is reflected through the water which is pretty nice effect.
