Zoom in to the place of you interest. If you zoom enough then the dots change to big red arrows. Click on the arrow to see the thumbnail of the object. click on '''update''' to modify the object (model, position, orientation, elevation offset). If you are sure that this object does not exist in real life then click on '''delete'''. If flightgear shows a skyscraper and in real life there is a communication tower then don't delete but update the object (generic skyscaper -> radio tower)

Those objects will be shown as red or blue circles with arrows attached. To see information about an object, move the cursor over the object until the cursor changes to a pointed finger icon and click. A popup will appear containing information about the object.
