Hi,
Is there any mod/addon whith which one could easily locate the airplane (latitude, longitude, altitude and velocity) in any place of the world?
Thank you!
Hi and welcome on the forums!
This addon is what you are looking for probably, it brings back the old shift+z stats from FSX; it will show you altitude and coordinates, among other things!
It seems to be a fine addon and I’ll use it. Thank you. However, what I meant is a tool to position the aircraft in certain coordinates and fly from there.
Ah gotcha. Linguistics mix up. I’ve edited your title to make it clearer for other people what you mean. Maybe someone has the Golden nugget!

Maybe I’m being too simple but as it appears to me, I just double click anywhere on the map and select custom then hit fly now? I’ve done it once or twice accidentally so I’m not sure on alt or airspeed but I seemed to have ended up “just flying” more than twice.

A custom start point usually places the user at a very low altitude (iirc 150’ AGL) and no control over heading.
If you start there - double-clicking to establish your geo location - then use the Slew Commands to set altitude, that might be a good workaround.

This function is already included in MSFS.
First, activate “Developer Mode”. Options / General Options / Developers / Developer Mode - ON
.
.
Secondly, open the “Teleport Window”
(Windows / Teleport Window)
-
Now you can either enter the ICAO airport identifier, and just click “Go to ICAO”.
-
Or, enter the Lat/Long in degrees, and click “Go to Lat/Long”, and you will be instantly teleported there.
(Note that it will take a while for all the scenery/textures to load, so things will look ugly for a while depending on your internet connection)
For altitude / heading, use slew mode to “manually” adjust the plane to the desired altitude / heading.
Having developer-mode activated will de-activate your flight-time logging in the logbook, so remember to deactivate developer mode after teleporting to your desired location if you care about those hours.
