How to unlock the Rubberneck achievement in Microsoft Flight Simulator - Definitive Guide
I used the Space Needle in Seattle, which you can find by taking off from SEATaC and heading almost directly north. You can use google maps for reference. When you’re nice and close, press the “s” key (LB+A on The Xbox Controller) until it pops
For those having trouble, this is exactly where I was when it popped. Forgot I recorded the session

Ah, I'll have to try that one. I've been trying and failing all over. Houses of Parliament in London, the 'jesus statue' in Brazil, and a few others.
The Smart Cam just acts buggy, same issue with the wildlife ones. Flew at around 70kts past elephants earlier, good track, and nothing :(.

I just unlocked this by doing the Giza discovery flight. When I flew past the pyramids, I used smart cam and it unlocked straight away. Took about 2 minutes in total.

For those of you on Xbox like myself, you’ll need to do a few things to get this to work.
First, depart from an airport that will have a landmark close by. I used Tokyo Haneda airport and flew directly to Tokyo Sky Tree.
When you see your landmark in the distance, click the left analog stick (otherwise known as L3) for a drop down menu with icons to show up on top. This puts your plane in autopilot mode so the AI will fly it for you (just be careful if the AI wants to turn your plane in a certain direction).
You can then use the left analog stick to move the circular cursor up to the top left camera icon. Press A and then navigate your circular cursor to Smartcam and press the toggle on (so that it turns blue).
Then go down to Smartcam Targets and click on it for a drop down menu of different targets such as “Flight Path” or “Waypoint”. Once you’re close enough to your landmark, it should show up in this drop down menu as “Object Interaction”. Just click on it and the camera will lock on to it and the achievement should unlock!
