I use to use a program using fs9 which I am sure some of you are familiar with called AutoTower,it basically automatically finds the best view from the airport towers you pass by,but sadly there is no FSX version,so I was wondering if there is any freeware program like it for FSX.Thanks

Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

It is built into FSX.
Right click on the screen and one of your options will be Tower.
You can then select the Nearest Airport or one of several close by airports.

I'll have to try that, but I don't think that does what AutoTower did in FS9. If I remember right, you could do preset positions for anywhere on the airport that best suited the view you wanted to view landing on. In FSX, selecting the tower view only gives you whatever the current tower position is for "that" particular tower as set by the AFCAD. I've found those to be lacking as sometimes, with default towers you're sitting behind trees and never see the aircraft until it has landed and taxied beyond the treeline. . .or it's set so high that it looks like you're standing on a very, very tall building in downtown NY watching a plane land below you.

I'm fairly sure you can do that with EZDOK
As the .exe program (I never tried the dll file) AutoTower works with FSX.
Simply start AutoTower after you start FSX.
I have always run it on a machine that also had FS9 installed so it was probably using the database of airports it generated for FS9. Still it worked fine.
