GENERAL INFO
-------------
USE THE MAP Feature when flying around mountains because FS5 shows you the 
scenery before you are there and you may still be over the mountians
even through you do not see them.

================================
The downtown buildings at Anchorage
may be larger than real life, but I wanted you to see them when you fly by.

================================
This is a large scenery and a map of the state will help.  I would
go down to a pilot store and pick up the World Aeronautical Charts
CD 11 (Anchorage Area), CD 9 for Fairbanks, and CD 12 (Juneua Area). 
A state map will help going greater distances
