A. INTRODUCTION
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^
In Australia, there are many navaid installations where an NDB is 
collocated with a DME, without a coupled VOR.  FS5 does not directly 
support the channel tuning of such DME facilities.  In order to 
accommodate these DMEs in the scenery, non-real world VOR frequencies 
are assigned.  These are shown with the label "dme only" in the 
directories below, and in the Nav/Com (Navigation Radio) menu.  When 
tuned to an NDB which has a collocated DME, the special DME frequency 
is also noted in the Nav/Com (ADF) menu.

There are several VORs without DME.  These are labelled as "vor only".
All VORs coupled with DME are labelled "vor+dme".

When approaching an airport supported only by a DME and NDB, it is 
more realistic to fly with the ADF active, and with NAV2 tuned to the 
special DME frequency.  This gives the DME2 distance readout while 
removing the NAV2 OBI from use.  In fact, it wouldn't be unrealistic
to always configure your nav instruments this way when flying in
Australia.

Several Australian airports offer both Australian and International 
DME capability.  (Australian DME is an uniquely Australian system and 
more accurate than the International DME system.)  In these cases, 
only one DME is rendered in the scenery.  One of the two real world 
DMEs is usually coupled with a VOR.  When any real world DME is 
coupled with a VOR, the *simulated* DME is always located at the VOR
position. 

Ranges for NDBs are set as specified in ERSA (Enroute Supplement
Australia) for overland and daytime, and are given in the directories 
below.  Ranges for VORs and DMEs are set at 120 nm.  FS5 can read DME 
ranges up to 98.9 nm.  If the DME indicates a range from 99.0 to 99.9 
(the max readout), the station is more distant than shown, but the 
localiser is available.  So please be advised of this when navigating.
If the DME shows "....", the station is totally out of range or the 
station is "vor only".

All ILS distance readouts are measured from the touchdown point.
You need to remember this when using real world instrument approach 
"plates".  All ILS ranges have been set at 60 nm, minimum.

In the directories below, latitude is south and longitude is east.  
In the Airport Directory, the cited position is the 
"Aerodrome Reference Point" published in CAA documents.
In Australia, airport elevations are expressed in feet and runway
lengths are expressed in meters.

E. NOTES  -  Referrals from Airport Directory
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Note 1.
	In FS5 we are presently limited to the parameters we may
	specify in setting up Aerodrome Beacons (ABN). In Australia most ABNs
	are Alternating( sometimes flashing ) White/Green 8 Sec. In FS5 the 
	closest we can presently get is Flashing White/Green 5 Sec.
	This is only a minor divergence from reality and is mentioned here
	simply as an explanation why our settings above will be different 
	from those you will find in the ERSA.
Note 2.
	Due to FS5 not supporting separate DMEs, VOR/DME combination 
	navaids have been set up in their stead, ( as per explanations 
	given above ).  Separate DMEs normally use a one or two digit 
	frequency value, as distinct from a VOR/DME combination navaid 
	which have a five digit value. In order that you can enter the DME 
	frequency directly from a chart etc I have 
	used the following frequency conversion method. Adjust your VOR
	frequency so that the 3rd and 4th digits ( ie the digits each 
	side of the decimal ) read as the correct value for the DME.
	Eg.     DME 23    becomes   VOR 112.30 
		DME  5    becomes   VOR 110.50
		DME 17    becomes   VOR 111.70
	This method has not yet produced any frequency conflicts and
	avoids the need to look up these notes to find a arbitrary 
	appointed replacement frequency.
Note 3.
	In FS5a, glideslopes on ILSs don't work in the Southern hemisphere.
	This seems to be a bug in the FS5 program itself. As at the date 
	of this production Microsoft don't appear to have 
	issued a fix for the problem. However the localiser on the ILSs still
	functions correctly.
Note 4.
	In Flight Sim. 5x, there are limitations on elevation differences 
	between geographically close objects. Conflicts due to this 
	limitation demand a resolution which will be a compromise on reality. 
	Such a case is the elevation difference between Hobart and 
	Hobart/Cambridge Airports. Hobart, the major of the two 
	airports, has an elevation of 13 feet and Hobart/Cambridge an 
	elevation of 67 feet. Due to their close proxcimitry to one another 
	the software dictates that they must both have the same elevation in 
	FS5. Given that Hobart at 13 feet is the more important of the 
	two, both airports will share that elevation.
Note 5.
	In the real world, some ATIS are available only on NDB or VOR 
	frequencies. This is the case at Launceston. Unfortunatly FS5a does
	not support such ATIS arrangments.  Rather than not represent 
	these ATISs we have used non-real-world frequencies.
