Is there a way to identify towns you’re flying over?
Thanks.
Currently in the sim, no. There are plenty of external applications that couple with MSFS and show your plane over an openstreetmaps / google maps chart.
My favourite is LittleNavMap, but that is a fairly substantial app with loads more functionality (including flight planning, logbooks etc). There are simpler apps as well.

VFR sectional map, and use pilotage (takes a lot of practice).

I find VFRmap a useful little tool, though I’ve yet to try LittleNavMap which I have also downloaded
Sure. Fly low and read the name off their water tower !

been there… done that!
What if they dont have one? LOL.
Fly the TBM with the G3000 mod and town names appear on the map. A brilliant feature.

No quite the same topic, but can anyone tell me, if there is a program which saves GPX track of a flight in MSFS just like in real life? So I can later see it in Google Earth for example…
Tacview is able to record and later show data out of various real life equipment, and flight simulators. There’s a free version, as well as a payware version. After first install, you get a 30-day trial of the full paid version, but after that, you can continue to use the free version indefinitely, albeit without some of the functionalities.
I don’t know if it reveals the name because I’ve never had it on, but there is a way to identify cities.

I have it turned on but get no city names. It does not work.
