File Description:
UPDATE for Magnetic Compass gauge with selectable DIGITAL display. I just discovered that I failed to include instructions in the original documentation which will allow the user to choose two other display options. This update (a short text file) will explain how to easily change the display to one of three slightly different versions. I apologize for the oversight. The installation of the original package - Digital_Compass.zip - is required.

Reducing FSX Traffic speed - an Illustrated tutorial
One of the more "interesting" enhancements which Microsoft introduced in FSX is the vehicle traffic which can be seen on the highways around larger cities and airports. However many simmers feel the speed at which these vehicles travel is considerably too fast and therefore quite unrealistic. One simmer has even commented that he cannot overtake many vehicles when flying low and slow in the default Cessna.
It is quite easy to edit the speeds of such vehicles and the process has been documented in at least one forum post. However I thought it might be useful - especially for those not accustomed to working with command line interfaces - to have a tutorial available which illustrates each step.

Washington State Ferries (AI) on Puget Sound.- |

File Description:
Washington State Ferries on Puget Sound. This enhancement places several simple, but visually accurate AI Ferries making trips on Puget Sound to and from Seattle, Bremerton, Bainbridge Island and a few other docks which Microsoft provided. If you have been to this area, you know how important Ferry traffic is and seeing them in motion helps bring the scenery alive. The model is of the Washington State Ferry "Klahoia" by Dave Robbins which I have modified slightly to work as an AI craft. This enhancement has been tested on the default FS2004 scenery only. A few technical notes are included if you wish to experiment with adding AI Ferries to your own scenery. All necessary files are included. Please unzip to a temporary folder and follow the very simple installation instructions. Compiled for your flying enjoyment by David "Opa" Marshall.
