If I really need to know if I'm directly over something, I take into
account the wind and my velocity and start dropping golf balls and watch
where they land. Of course, by the time they hit the ground, I've probably
moved a couple hundred feet or so which then requires more golf balls.
It's a never-ending battle.



Bowling balls work better:

Car bowling is even better. Maybe that is what we need for Anthony --
find him a car bowling add-on to MSFS. He might have so much fun with
it that he would stop posting here...
