***************************************
ADDITIONAL SITUATIONS
Included with this scenery are 4 additional situations that demonstrate
the New York scenery - "NYC - Fly down Broadway", "NYC - Follow the
Hudson River", "NYC - Statue of Liberty", and "NYC - Uptown at Dawn".
To access these situations select them from the Situations dialog box
by selecting the Options menu and then Situations.
CONFIGURING YOUR SYSTEM FOR EXPANDED MEMORY
A utility is also shipped with this product- FSSYSTEM.EXE.
The more expanded memory you have available, the better the New York
Scenery will perform. FSSYSTEM.EXE will create a boot disk with the
optimum memory configuration for your machine. See the inside back
cover of your Microsoft Flight Simulator Pilot's Handbook for more
information on how to use FSSYSTEM.EXE.
ADDITIONAL THINGS TO SEE AND DO
We suggest that in the high density scenery areas around New York City,
you will enjoy your flight most at low altitudes. Stay below 3000
feet(and even considerably lower in some areas) to enjoy the maximum
scenery display.
UP THE HUDSON
Follow the Hudson River north from Manhattan past the George Washington
Bridge (suspension) along the Palisades to the Tappan Zee Bridge. Then
turn west and fly over the ridges and through the valleys of northern
New Jersey.
THE HARLEM RIVER
>From LaGuardia, instead of following the East River down past
Manhattan; near the Triboro Bridge, turn right and follow the Harlem
River to the Hudson. Stay very low as you pass over many small bridges,
Yankee Stadium, Columbia University football stadium and the buildings
of the Bronx.
AROUND QUEENS AND BROOKLYN
>From LaGuardia, head southeast past Shea Stadium, the US Open Tennis
Stadium, Flushing Meadows (site of the New York World's Fair) and on to
Kennedy. Turn southwest over Jamaica Bay and on along the coast to
Coney Island and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge.
AROUND NEWARK
>From Newark head south to the Goethals Bridge (aqua colored). Turn
left and follow the Arthur Kill to Newark Bay. Turn north just before
reaching the gray Bayonne Bridge. Fly up Newark Bay under the Newark
Bay Bridge and the railroad bridge just beyond. Follow the Hackensack
River (the one on the right side at the head of Newark Bay) north until
you see the Meadowlands and Giants Stadium on your left. Turn left and
fly west to the Passaic River. Turn left again and follow the Passaic
south to downtown Newark and Newark airport just beyond.
A WORD ABOUT ILS/EFIS SELECTION
In the United States it is common that a single ILS frequency will
service BOTH ends of the same runway. When you tune an ILS frequency,
FS5 will select the NEAREST runway end as your assumed destination. If
you are not closest to the desired destination runway end when you tune
an ILS and initiate EFIS, you may need to de-tune that frequency and
re-tune it again, once you are closest to your desired touchdown runway
end.
ADDITIONAL AIRPORT INFORMATION
In the approach descriptions below, information such as:
"RWY 4R - 108.7 Heading 039 intersect at LIZAH 204 LOM at 1700 feet"
means:
Runway 4R has ILS at frequency 108.7. Its heading is 039 degrees and
it can be found by flying to the LOM (Localized Outer Marker) named
LIZAH at frequency 204 at 1700 feet. Tune the ADF to 204 and follow
the gauge to it at 1700 feet; at which point, the ILS 108.7 should
be found directing you toward runway 4R on heading 039.
