- Custom Spot Views – Define your own spotting location by capturing latitude, longitude, and altitude from your aircraft or avatar, then save it with a custom name. You can also manually insert coordinates and altitude of your choice.
- Manage Views Easily – Load or delete your saved views with a simple panel interface. Everything is stored locally for quick retrieval.
- Drone Camera Integration – Built on the default MSFS drone camera, giving you complete freedom of movement, zoom, and angle control.
- Instant Return to Cockpit – Resume full aircraft control at any time with the Take Plane Control shortcut.
You can purchase it on Simmarket for €12.50 or bundled with FlightControlReplay 5 at €29.99. If you already have FlightControlReplay, you can get FlightControlSpotter at €10.00.
