        ╚═══╩═══════════════════════════╝

When you first INSTALL FS-PRO, please select MAIN MENU item #7.

               "UTILITIES/SETUP MODULE"

Another menu will appear from which you may select SETUP (#1).



                   "High-Lite Bars"
                       "Paths"
                   "Personalizing"

                       "SETUP"

This module allows you to handle a lot of housekeeping
chores with your FS-PRO and MODE files and also lets you
customize the system to your specifications. If you do not
see HIGH-LITE bars in the "Library" directories, then you
will need to re-set your COLOR selections. By selecting the
SETUP module, you can quickly experiment with color
selections that will work with your computer.

Be sure to check your PATHS using the SETUP module. And,
type in your first and last name for personalized operation.
Select UTILITIES from the MAIN MENU and then select SETUP.

Please read the INFORMATION screens when you first operate
the UTILITIES module. There is a help file similar to this
with many helpful hints.

      MAIN MENU and FLIGHT SIMULATOR VERSION

Individual MODULES are called up from the MAIN MENU. And,
you can always return to the FS-PRO MAIN MENU from any other
MODULE. The menu prompt will display which version of the
Microsoft Flight Simulator program you have installed in the
PARM.OVL file.

                 VERSION 3 OR 4?

Be certain that you have followed the instructions in the
README.1ST file on FS-PRO system disk #1.

        ╚═══╩═══════════════════════════╝

You may access the HELP and MEMO module directly from the
MAIN MENU. We have tried to provide you with a simple indexed
help screen. Please browse through the information if this is
the first time you have messed around with FS-PRO. Select the
UTILITIES menu and then acccess the HELP/MEMO PAD module.

        ║ 3 ║   "PILOT'S CALCULATOR"    ║
        ╚═══╩═══════════════════════════╝

You may access the Pilot's calculator from the Utilities Menu
or the AIRCRAFT data base module and vice-versa. There is
an important feature for weights and balances to demonstrate
the use of these measurements to student pilots. Flight Simulator
provides some data for the Cessna, Lear, Sophwith, etc. Our
example entry (record #2) is a Cessna 172 with a CG set to 37".
When you choose to use the calculator module, simply select
the NUMBERS from the menu and then select AIRCRAFT #2 to see
how the display works. We import the CG, weights and fuel
data from your aircraft data base and make some preliminary
calculations.

The calculator also provides for specific weather calculations,
sunrise and sunset azmuth and a USA/GMT time-zone display. You
may shuttle between the aircraft module and the calculator or
return at any point to the FS-PRO main menu. We have also
included a WIND/COURSE CORRECTION/GS calculator.

        ║ 4 ║   "FS-PRO PREFLIGHT"      ║
        ╚═══╩═══════════════════════════╝

If you properly installed FS-PRO, then you may select item #1
from the main menu and a list of the ADVENTURES that came in
the ADVPAK1.EXE file will be presented in a window directory.
Use the arrow keys to highlight a filename and the ENVIRONS
screen will appear. If the highlight bar obliterates the file-
name, then you have chosen a text foreground color of black
and you will have to pick another color or put up with it.
Experiment with color selections until you get something
pleasing.

        .ADV files go in \FSP\ADV
        .FPN files go in \FSP\ADV
        .MOD files go in your FS MODE directory

        (See <M>ap option in UTILITIES/SETUP module.)

1. You should have files in your ADVENTURE LIBRARY.
2. Your name should be on the Main Menu somewhere.
3. You should have files in your MODE LIBRARY.
4. You should have about 1200 airports in the AIRPORT RECORDS.
     (#45 = CRP - Corpus Christi, Texas) TEST RECORD
5. The screen colors should be what you want.

If your checklist fails, then go back to the docs and read
about INSTALLING the .MOD, .DAT, .ADV and AIRPORT data files
into their PROPER DIRECTORY. This data is provided with the
INSTALL program and must be on board for FS-PRO to work
properly.

        ║ 6 ║ "CREATING AN ADVENTURE"   ║
        ╚═══╩═══════════════════════════╝

First, you must go fly a particular scenerio that you enjoy.
Most users will then use the "SLEW" controls to position the
aircraft onto the scenery disk grid. This may be a simple
"takeoff" setting or "upside down" in a stall facing a tornado
at 10,000 feet, out of gas and no parachute.

The point is, you will discover many unusual scenes during your
"flying" and you can SAVE them as a Flight Simulator MODE. Then,
by using FS-PRO, you can fully document the newly saved .MOD
file. Select item #2 from the MAIN FS-PRO MENU and a window will
appear with your library of MODE files. Position the "high-lite"
bar over your new .MOD file and we will create a small .ADV file
to store our own MODE data. Then all you have to do is add your
own personal COMMENTS and you can then "Fly" the scenerio right
from the FS-PRO "Environs" MENU. The next time you look into your
ADVENTURE Library (MAIN MENU #1), the .ADV or, ADVENTURE file
will be there, all ready-to-fly. Just tag the one you want and
"go-flyin'."

Menu item #3 will allow you to quickly "FLY" your default MODE.
