There are fans of flight simulators who put an emphasis on the simulation part, others are looking to discover the real world – let’s call it “virtual tourism”. The latter has become easier and more realistic than ever since FS2020 came out, thanks to satellite imagery and photogrammetry.
But it gets even better with addons, and this one here is truly awesome:
Bushtalk Radio Landmarks
What this addon actually does, quoting from the plugin website:
- “Bushtalk Radio is a community driven project with the aim to fill the vast world of MSFS 2020/24 with thousands of interesting locations and local radio stations. Each location will have an audio tour that will automatically play as you approach it. We have audio tours for all 25,000+ in-game POIs (including World Updates) as well as thousands of community submitted content with more being added every day: mountains, skycrapers, volcanoes, historical battles or a random bit of local trivia – there’s something for everyone.”
- “Bushtalk Radio Landmarks addon allows you to see all of the Bushtalk Radio custom POI markers in-game and now also in LittleNavMap! This file will be uploaded monthly to include all of the landmarks and POIs submitted on the Bushtalk Radio website. If you’d like to sumbit a POI then please do it through the website and it’ll be added to the pack on the next update.
I am planning on using this during the IFA tours.
