- Hi Flight Simmers,
-
- Welcome to Round Robin no 7.
- This one is with Microsoft FS5.1 CD ROM.
- Can be flown with 5.0 or 5.1 disks, using John Trindle's
- ISS scenery.
-
-
- If you did previous RR"S, skip the next paragraph, jump right in, and
- have fun.
-
- For those who are new to this, Round Robins are published
- with the intent of having MS Flight-Simmers fly, look at the
- scenery, refresh our Geography, practice our cross country
- navigation , do some approaches at different airports all over
- the world, and have some FUN.
-
- In the message, you will be getting info like: airport departure and
- runway number , VOR'S and ADF's en route, one or two middle
- airport destination for VFR or INST approach, and back to your
- point of departure (round robin) for and INST or VFR approach,
- along with ILS and LOM freqs, minimums, procedures etc .....
- You will also get info on the scenery needed to complete the
- flight and where to get it (at the ftp.iup.edu, where else?). Also
- who created the scenery (for non-commercial) and a little
- background on the geography of the area.
-
- May I also suggest, that you read the route a couple of times before
- starting out, so that you'll have your flight plan fairly clear in
- your mind.

- GEOGRAPHY/SCENERY
-
- You are not missing anything by flying to Grand Rapids and
- Indi at dark or in clouds. The reason being that only the RWYS
- and Nav Aids are part of the scenery. It is different on the way
- to Champaign and Chicago, so I made this part of the Flight
- during DAY VFR conditions.
-
