How to fly to an exact point on the planet in Microsoft Flight Simulator

Flying over any point on the planet is very easy in Microsoft Flight Simulator . Thanks to the Microsoft flight simulator and Bing Maps it is possible to visit any point of interest in a few minutes . We could say that it would be something like a virtual trip. Also, if you don't fly the plane very well for now, nothing happens, you can always activate the autopilot .


Seeing the Statue of Liberty from the sky or taking a tour of Mount Everest is two mouse clicks away. Of course, you need an external tool to know the coordinates , otherwise you can forget. However, it is very easy to get the coordinates of any place. That said, we are going to see step by step how to fly to any point of interest.


How to fly to an exact point on the planet

To start with, the most important thing is to know what place you want to fly over and to know the coordinates. Well, you have to open Bing Maps from the web browser . Then, in the search bar you enter the point of interest . Once the point of interest is marked on the map, you have to click with the right mouse button. At the bottom of the floating window you will see the coordinates. Click Copy . You can now close the browser.

Now that you have the coordinates, you have to run the game, as long as you don't have it open in the background. Once on the main screen of Microsoft Flight Simulator, access the World Map –free flight– . In the search bar on the left, press the Ctrl + V keys to paste the coordinates . Finally, set the point of interest as arrival, choose the closest airport and click the fly button. Enjoy the views!


We remind you that you can activate the autopilot at any time from the menu that appears at the top of the screen. From this menu you have to access the AI Control settings and activate the Control aircraft option . To switch between modes Vista cabin and External must press End .
