Loading & Running AAF Adventures

The attached adventure was compiled using Mallard's AAF 
compiler and Pilot's Power Tools. To run the adventure
you should do the following...

1. Unzip the adventure file to your FS directory using
   PKUnzip 2.04g.

2. Load FS4 in the normal manner. (Mallard's Aircraft & 
   Adventure Factory is required.)

3. Pull down the 5-NAV/COM menu. Load the appropriate 
   scenery. For example, load Tahiti (MS-2) for the 
   ANARAN.ADV (Aana to Rangiroa French Polynesian 
   Islands adventure).

4. If you are using "shareware" scenery, you may have to 
   load it by pulling down the 1-MODE menu and selecting 
   Scenery Design (A&SD required), then select 1-Static
   Scenery Designer, then select K-Static Scenery Library
   and finally , select the appropriate scenery file.
   Press the Escape key until you are back at the 1-MODE 
   menu.

5. At the 1-MODE menus, select the Mode Library and load 
   the mode which corresponds to the ZIP filename. As in 
   the example above, load ANARAN.MOD. Press the spacebar 
   to return to FS and you should be placed at your 
   departure airport taxiway.

6. Select the 1-MODE menu and select Adventure Factory. If 
   you own SGA and A&SD, AF will most likely be letter "L" 
   on the menu. At the Adventure menu, select the adventure
   that corresponds to ZIP filename. For example, if you
   are loading the Aana to Rangiroa adventure, select
   ANARAN.ADV. Press the spacebar, and you should see
   the Adventure's ATC commands begin to scroll across 
   your airplane's dash. You're on your way!! Have fun!!
   

NOTES: Follow all adventure commands as they appear on your
       screen. If you miss a command, pressing the "R" key
       will repeat the last command after several seconds.

       I recommend using the Cessna (or other plane with
       similar performance characteristics).

       Ascend to the assigned altitude and heading, then
       engage the Flight Plan Auto Pilot (FPAP) by pressing
       the "W" key (press the "E" key at any time to 
       disengage FPAP). Sit back and enjoy the scenery...
       but keep a close eye on the ATC messages for 
       course and altitude changes enroute. It is a good
       practice to ALWAYS disengage FPAP about 20nm from 
       your destination and pilot your ship in from there
       following ATC, Center and Approach Control's
       commands.

       If you want to automate the process of compiling your
       own adventures, in addition to automating many of the 
       steps noted above, I strongly recommend purchasing 
       Pilot's Power Tools when it hits the stores.

       Questions, comments, requests for help are welcome.
