Adventure Details
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	 1) GPWS for Modern aircraft 
	 2) Co-pilot calls for all aircraft 
  	 3) Weather (FS98 ONLY)
 	    (Challenging expect winds more than 25 knots & RVR's less 200 Metres!) 
	 4) 'Online flight' supported
	 5) Quick change Autopilot and NAV Settings 
	 6) Exclusive .WAV files only to be found
 	    with this Adventure recorded form inside a 
 	    REAL BAC 1-11 (Thanks to EuroScot Express) 
	 7) Altitude alert, with 'One to go sound' 

	Please note that some parts of the adventure were taken from other currently
	available freeware adventures, but have been Extensively modified.
	But some Credit should go the Original Authors of these programs.
	

	The adventure will keep track of ALL your mistakes the rules are 
 	1) Do not exceed 30Knots Taxi speed 
	2) Vr must set BEFORE takeoff ('Shift 'v' key) 
	3) All ATC calls must be made **See Below** 
	4) Takeoffs must use flaps 10' to flaps 20'
	   and trim in a +10 to -10 setting (30% of moment)
	5) Climb rate must never exceed 3800fpm 
	6) Decent rate must not exceed 3000fpm 
	7) Maximum speed must not be exceeded

	Atc Calls: 
	Basic ATC calls MUST be made!

 	1) Request Taxi (At the Start of the adventure only)
	2) Request Takeoff

	The relevant wav files will be played depending on your situation. 

	The Adventure also has a inbuild GPWS for more modern aircraft 
	('shft G) to activate, and random weather(FS98 ONLY) ('shft w') to activate 
	the Keys are: 
	'shft g'-----GPWS Toggle  ON - PART MODE - OFF

	'shift ac' --Set Aircraft Catagory  Either A,B,C,D or E
                  ****DONT FORGET THAT ONE PILOTS****

			Cat A= Small plane like a PA-31
			Cat B= Small airliner like a F-27
                        CAT C= Average airliner B737-B757
                        CAT D= 'Heavy' B747, B767
                        CAT E= FAST!, Concorde or F18
      

	IMPORTANT:
	You must use the number keys on the top of your keyboard

How to Fly a  Flight
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	When you have installed the adventure files, and have downloaded all necessary
files for your flight, start the adventure and turn on or off the GPWS (shft+x)
'Ground proximity Warning System' according to your aircraft type. Then set the season in
normal way from the FS98 menu (This will affect the random weather module). Then press 
shft+W to turn on the Random weather, your need to wait a minute or two for the weather to
take affect and to stabilize.  

	Now start your engines and request taxi from the tower 'shft+x'. While taxiing
set up your autopilot for the departure and view any SID's or NOISE ABATEMENT procedures.
When your at the holding point press Ctrl+x again and you will be cleared for takeoff
now set VR (Rotate speed) by pressing 'shft+v', and takeoff.

	While airborne the adventure will play certain sounds as prompts EG:'Gear Up'
'Climb Power' ect. 

	When it's time to land you must press 'shft+x' during your final Approach
and the 'landing checklist' will play, you must also set your Decision Height( The
at which you must see the runway or else your need to 'Go around' the default is 200'.
Use 400' for a BAC1-11, 200ft for B737-300 and 50ft! feet for CAT IIIB Autoland Aircraft

	When you have landed, taxi to the ramp, shutdown, and APPLY YOUR PARKING BRAKES
then your Performance report code will be given to you, while the 'shutdown' wav file
plays in the background. You should then use the Pirep.exe program  to compile your 
flight report, this program creates a formated text file which should then be emailed 
back to HQ 

If you fly a multiple sector flight (2 or more stops) only recode the adventure code
at the LAST landing point. To carry on a flight you simply press shft+x again and the
end messages will stop displaying and you will be cleared to taxi.

NOTES:
	1) The adventure has to work out the GMT time, the only this
           can be done is moving to W000:00 and moving back, I realize this
           is anoying, but all flight reports have in be in GMT



	2) Version 4 of the adventure was a total remake, but has not added much,
	  

	3) The New weather system uses codes to set the weather, but also 
           changes according to season, Lat and time of day, the types our:

	0=Dry sunny high pressure			;good
	1=Dry sunny high pressure but brezzy 		;good
	2=showers, carm					;good
	3=Dry sunny high pressure, but windy		;good
	4=overcast, dry carm 
	5=Thunder storms  
	6=overcast low cloud, low vis cold but carm 
	7=Stormy weather very windy	
	8=Fog very bad			   	
	9=showers, windy	



			VERSION HISTORY
			---------------



Version 1 notes: Only some of my UKD???.Wavs are used at present
		 look out for version 2, available soon



Version 2.2 notes:

1) high level temp change from -45 to -65
2) Added AP disconnect check in the approach phase
3) Precision set to 1,0,0 (to fix report code 020,2345.23!)
4) Start up note modified
5) Allows multi trip refuelling (and it work this time!)
6) Deleted Roll from landing check (Wasn't working well)
7) Greatly improved Landing check routine
8) Fixed gear not down check
9) Fixed VSI check <230ias to become active only when positive vsi
10) Bank angle check changed(Allowed more)
11) Land without permission bug fixed
12) Re randomize weather trend when cleared for take off
13) High wind at low altitude limited to +18 knot<1000ft
14) Tried to fix the 'K' key problem!
	This problem affect 10% of pilots, where by they can't
	select the rotate speed, not really sure why, but deleted
	some unused key assignments, and chanced the 'k' key
	to 'Shift V'
15) Fixed Rvr of 000!
16) Added retract flaps check on shutdown
17) Fixed the 'One to go' bug
18) Cload base raised more often
19) Engine and fuel failure added ( 1 in ten chance, when trans<>0000)
	(Not very well tested, please keep me informed if you
	 DO get inflight emergency)
20) 'Gear' wav added to gear aleat
21) Flap check added to landing + wav
22) GPWS fixed, will play 'Dont sink' 'Pull up' and 'sinkrate' 'Terrain'
     at the appropriate times (GPWS MUST BE ON!)


Version 2.3 1/8/98
1) Emergency problem fix, also less chance of it happening and will not
   activate the fuel loss bit.
2) Fixed error, so that the emergency landing meassage is displayed
3) Program modified to suit CAT 2 aircraft
4) Allows multiple 'Smooth landing' awards
5) Flare check modified slightly to allow a tiny amount of level flight
6) Pricision changed to 2 0 0 for the report code
7) Fixed landing time error, when pilots to not request landing
8) Fixed 'takeoff checklist' playing when winds>8 knots
9) This will also fix fuel load not being recorded if pilots
   dont taxi>8 knots or cheat and set there position to the end of runway!
  Life would be simpier, if they behaved themselfs!
10) Max negative vsi increased to -3000(I'v been told A320 sometimes descend
    at -3500!!)
11) Fix error when sometime you hear 80knots called twice, this used to happen
    when the aircraft accelerated slowly before VR.
12) Wind system redisigned
13) 'Max Thrust' not played if CAT1 or CAT2 aircraft, threshold >14 knots
    'Climbpower' will play slightly earier

4) Weather system remade, this time the clouds change and the weather is
   made up of 3 regions, departure, enroute and arrival. The weather is selected
   by a 3 digit code for each region or 000 if random is required.
5) ***BONUS*** APLC32 has fixed that very anoying bug of not playing the WAV files
    after the user has switched to another application

Version 4.2
-----------

    (Average between departure and arrival weather is used)

-----------
Two years latter and Im still ironing out the bugs!  CAT E, concorde now works ok and speed
limit is 360 below 10000ft. CAT A now works ok. Failure rate fixed should be 1 in 10 (honest!)
Copy of notes added about wheather only working in FS98 and is want a safe quite flight press
