File Description: Tips and Tricks - Part 13. This issue, the first of the Fall 2005 season, attempts to dispel the notion that you can become "bored" with FS2004. Numerous recommendations for new and different things to do and audition are included as well as the usual assortment of "How-To's", links to useful sites, and much, much more. A new feature is a "From the Mailbag" segment where we try to answer a question of general interest submitted by a reader. Updated indexes by John Burford in .xls (Excel) and .pdf formats for the entire series are included. There is also a group of BONUS files which I believe you will enjoy using. As usual, I have attempted to include something of value for everyone, regardless of your experience level. Compiled in .doc and .pdf formats for your flying enjoyment by David "Opa" Marshall.

Just For Fun 1

File Description:
Here's a little "just for fun" addition to make your GA flying in California a bit more interesting. Moffett Field, Mountain View, CA is a major landmark in the San Francisco Bay area. It is my understanding that NASA now controls this property and may convert all or a part of it to an Aviation Musuem. Microsoft elected to include the two ENORMOUS hangers that apparently were once used by the Navy to store Blimps and train crews. This scenery has the Goodyear Blimp (by Bill Lyons) doing touch and goes - taking off from inside of and landing in one of the immense hangers! Perhaps not very realistic but great fun to watch! Everything is included plus a recommendation to add John Townsend's great Hangar One scenery to the same airport. Works in FS2004 only. Just unzip to a Temp folder and read the simple installation instructions. Created by David "Opa" Marshall - Plano, Texas
