Is there a working 'Tower view' in FS2004?

[Shri]

Can some one who knows tell in FS2004, whether there is a proper 'tower view' which can also be set at various locations as in FS2000 but for various reasons removed from FS2002, so that we can see our aircraft landing or taking off or even to watch a fly-by view.

Thanks

Hi

I don't know the answer to this, however, if it is not available they sure missed the boat. I use the tower view many times in FS98 do do exactly as you say. Do your own airshow and view it from the tower view. This really makes it exciting with low passes, slow flight passes and waves and also inverted fly bys.

Remember forward pressure on the stick in inverted flybys!!

What are you talking about? As far as I know, the tower view has been the same for as long as I've been using flightsim, which was version 5.1.

What changed.

The ability to move the Tower View around.


Hope this helps,

But you can move the tower view in 2002, using the map view...

You can move it around in the map window on 2k2 can't you?

If you have FsNavigator, you can right click on any spot and click Set Tower view here. I love it, makes it great for taking screenshots as a spotter ect.

Yep,
Although slightly different in the way you do it, the tower can be placed anywhere and at any altitude in FS2002.
Map view/ Tower : drag it where you want and set the altitude option is on the left menu.
True, FSNav can do it also, but not everyone has FSNav.
Just clarifying that it can be done in FS2002 straight out of the box.

I'm now beginning to wonder if, a year and a half after the program came out, some people didn't know you could move the tower. I wonder if their were some people who were upset that they couldn't do it, when the ability to move the tower was right there all along.
