- GENERAL INFO
- -------------
- USE THE MAP Feature when flying around mountains because FS5 shows you the
- scenery before you are there and you may still be over the mountians
- even through you do not see them.
-
- ================================
- The downtown buildings at Anchorage
- may be larger than real life, but I wanted you to see them when you fly by.
-
- ================================
- This is a large scenery and a map of the state will help. I would
- go down to a pilot store and pick up the World Aeronautical Charts
- CD 11 (Anchorage Area), CD 9 for Fairbanks, and CD 12 (Juneua Area).
- A state map will help going greater distances
