Al Pelletier's Round Robins - Castlegar

File Description:
Hi again Flight Simmers. This adventure takes place in the Interior of British Columbia Canada, which is a very rugged and mountainous area. In fact, one of the toughest areas of the World, for any kind of planes to fly regular routes. I flew this route with 2 different airplanes. One with the Dornier and one with the old DC3 Dakota. With the more modern airplane, you can fly in and out of the route in IFR conditions with no problems. But with an aircraft that has a maximum of 500 to 900 Feet per minute rate of climb, you have to fly in VFR condition out of Castlegar to find an area that will allow you to climb to IMC(Instrument Meteorological Conditions) from VMC (Visual Meteorological Conditions). The DC3 I flew is by Bill Rambow, Roy Chaffin and Jan Visser. This, folks, is simply the BEST airplane that I have ever seen for MS Flight Sim, since 1982! This airplane and all the necessary scenery for this article can be found at http://wings.ark.com in the Full Throttle directory and probably at the Flight Simulator World web site. A list of all the necessary or nice to have files are listed on these pages.

Al Pelletier's Round Robins - Medevac to Chattanooga

File Description:
This Round Robin adventure takes place in the State of Tennessee, USA. It was flown with Microsoft FS2000\FS2002 but can be flown with any Flight Sim that has the required Airports and Navaids included in its own database. Scenery Microsoft Default FS2000 or FS2002. I also used the United States Base Terrain Upgrade from FSGENESIS (http://www.fsgenesis.com). The Great Smokey Mountains were just fantastic with this addon. I strongly recommend it.

Al Pelletier's Round Robins - Calgary

File Description:
This flight is based on a true route of Westjet and is based in western Canada. It actually lands at my home of Comox (twice daily) BC. Written in 2003 for Computer Pilot Magazine (pay them a visit at www.computerpilot.com). You’ll just need the basic 737 for this exercise. I used the great Dreamfleet 737 of that time for FS2002, and the PMDG 737 for FS2004 both in Westjet liveries. Lots of high resolution maps, approach plates etc..

Al Pelletier's Round Robins - Pensacola - Atlanta

File Description:
This Round Robin is based on a true ASA Scheduled flight, a subsidiary of the Delta Connection. At the time of writing, back in 2002, I had found some great CRJ’s at AVSIM. I am sure that you will find some CRJ’s for FS2004 also. This is a great flight, that will take you to the Southern USA (Pensacola, Atlanta and New Orleans) area. Lots of high resolution graphics.

Al Pelletier's Round Robins - ASA Round Robin

File Description:
This one touches down in New Orleans in the days prior to Katrina. It is a great and true to life route better done in a small jet commuter like the CRJ-200. It was written 4 years ago and can be flown in FS-X or FS2004.’ Please remember that some of the freeware addon files I refer to were for FS2002 at the time. You should be able to find newer ones to replace them.

PMDG B1900C and B1900D Thumbnails for Aircraft Menu

File Description:
Info: I took the liberty of creating thumbnails for the PMDG B1900C and B1900D official liveries as downloaded from the PMDG website. These were created from 1600x1200 screen-captures and reduced in size to 256x192x24-bit thumbnails. I know the recommendation is 256x128 but these seem to work great and keep the aspect ratio as well. Each thumbnail is saved in the proper texture folder as named by each livery auto-installer. Instructions: Manually copy over your PMDG B1900C and/or B1900D aircraft from FS9 to FSX as described in the PMDG forum thread. Supplied in two seperate zips, B1900C & B1900D, extract each zip to the root of your FSX directory with "use pathnames" enabled. Such as: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FSX. Again, the texture folder names were derived from the PMDG Livery auto-installers and have not been changed.
