How to turn on this cheat - text on airfield, mountains ect? Is it possible tu turn it on / off during a flight from key?

Reminds me of my old microlight flying days. Several occasions with a landing run of a few meters...and a relief when the wing was parked in to wind!

YoYo - no cheats used. Nick was running live weather and winds were gusting to ~40kts.

You mean the nametags?

Go to OPTION -> ASSISTANCE -> click on POI MARKERS/CITY MARKERS/AIRPORT MARKERS/FAUNA MARKERS

save (F11) and return to game.

I don't see any KB shortcut that would do what you're asking for. Simplest way would be to pause and do/undo the whole thing.

We used to try and do that when winds were strong at our local strip in our Cubs, 50 odd years ago. Great fun. Take off is also like an elevator.....and that's in a PA18-90 - not a 150 with those flap things.....

Oooops!

Just realized I gave you all the nametags... except for the one you're looking for.

Those tags are other players (for example; SKYKINGROW is on the landing strip) and can be activated by choosing OPTIONS>GENERAL TRAFFIC>AIRCRAFT TRAFFIC TYPE>REAL-TIME ONLINE. Then activate SHOW TRAFFIC NAME PLATES.
