This is easier in FS9, because you can adjust the Eyepoint, if zooming takes the markers out of sight. There is no way of increasing the visibillity, during the design stage, other than to make them bigger. OK Gerry I'll play with the Zoom. Incidentally, IVAO seemed to accept my use of X1HA for the destination, but the Eye didn't seem to recognise it, after landing it reported me on the ground but at a distance from the nearest field. On the way back to EGTK it knew I was bound for Oxford, and reported me arrived and then later on the blocks. I didn't bother with ATC, I tuned to Unicom, and did see some text messages. I did use the TCAS, spotted another VFR flyer, who came across so that we were in eyeball range, but then he went happily on his way. Its good to be in MP using FSX, providing of course you have enough oomph in your hardware. Frank T.
