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.

 
1... Thank you to the folks at Microsoft for FS5.1and to 
       John Trindle for the ISS scenery.

2....I flew the DC9 on this trip..but any other A/C will do. 

3.... For the experienced flyers, please be patient thru all of the
	explanations, directions and extras. I direct this at newcomers
	to the  flying world. I must stick to plain language.

4.... Thanks to Chris for test flying the scenario for me.


5..... The RR's are available  on the WEBB at:
