Hi  Flight Simmers,

Welcome to Round Robin no 4.
This one is with Robert Wittick's Scotland VERS 3,
available at the ftp.iup.edu site.

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, and do some approaches at different airports all
over the world.
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.

WELCOME HOME....

GEOGRAPHY.
Inverness is where you enter the famous LOCH NESS.
There are some very old castles to visit all along the LOCH.
I visited there myself, but I didn't see NESSIE, since it was
way after my drinking days......that I visited the LOCH.

KINLOSS is a maritime Command RAF base. At the present
they are flying the NIMRODS, which were designed from the
old COMET (the first British jet  passenger airplanes in the 50's).
It used to be Home away from Home for me, when I was 
flying on the Canadian ARGUS  maritime patrol airplane in the
late 60's and 70's. There is a little town called FORRES, near the
base where we used to stay. We usually were housed in Old
Manors that  were turned into hotels. They were very cold in
the winter, but the people are  so friendly and warm,  that it
made up for it. The  Roast beef and Yorkshire
pudding was  fantastic....along with a few  Pints of Scotish 
or British Ale, of course.
I still have friends there and hope  to return some
day. I would like very much to rent a car,  and tour all
of Scotand;  visiting  the old Abeys, Castles and Hills....
along the way.. 
 
 


1.... Thank you so much to Robert Wittick for the Scotland
        scenery.  It is surely on of my favourite place to visit on
        FS5. 
        If you enjoy flying Round Robins, then  I encourage
        anyone to complete  Bob's tour that comes
        with the scenery. A lot of time has obviously gone into
        setting up the tour and it is a lot of fun. 
        Don't miss it....

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

3.....Please try different time settings on these RR's.  I think
       the twilight scenery in Scotland is fantastic. Have fun
       with it. Experiment a little bit......

4.... 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.

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