The ATC Collection

A series of adventures for FS 5.0, 5.0a and 5.1, using ATC control to enhance flights for the DC- 9 and Cessna C-182.

The .BGL files zipped in this download are:

DEN_SLC.BGL

SLC_SFO.BGL

LAX_ORD.BGL

SFO_DFW.BGL

SJC_LAX.BGL

SQL_TVL.BGL

FAT_HWD.BGL

ATIS.BGL

All of these files are to be loaded into the FS5\ Scenery sub-directory. The first 5 are for the DC- 9, the last two being C-182 flights. The file ATIS.BGL can be also installed in your FS5\Scenery directory, if you wish to make use of the customised ATIS frequencies I have generated- obtained from actual ATIS data.

All of the above flights have an accompanying text file- this describes the frequencies used on each flight, and the flight plan filed with ATC. This will allow anyone who has a complete set of charts and maps to fly these flights. Included in the .ZIP file is a text file- ATCDOC.WPD/TXT, this describes these files in detail, plus the registration process. It as also separately uploaded to the FSFORUM as ATCDOC.ZIP, and is intended to give a complete overview of this series.

Upon registration, you will receive chart extracts for each flight, all are marked up to show where you fly. As well, there is a detailed text file outlining flight procedures in following these flights, a scenery file- this gives you some visualization of the ground being overflown, and weather setting instructions.

Included in this download are situation files-two for each flight. *1.STN is at the terminal prior to taxying, with the comm radio tuned to ATIS, *2.STN is lined up for take-off, with the comm radio tuned to the Tower. A file named "SIT_FILE.WPD/TXT descibes the situation file format, and how to decode the file name to be able to install the correct .STN file for the panel you are using. There is also a file WEATHER.WPD/TXT, describing the weather generation used in this series.

Finally, there is a brief description of myself- it's often good to know something about an author of any work.

For registered users, my E-Mail awaits you if you have problems- I will promise to be as quick as I can in responding. This series is intended to present a realistic sense to flying- which apart from in reality requiring good pilot skills, also requires navigational and situational awareness- supplemented by charts and maps, some of which are legally required- which this series is intended to present.

Happy flying- do read my file ATCDOC.WPD/TXT before proceeding.

All text files created in Word Perfect 5 for Windows format, and copied to .TXT format, which can be read using Notebook (preferably), or any DOS editor.
