ABOUT THE FILES
---------------
This tour/plane package really takes you through the "old world" and is a fantastic example of the early adventures of "old skool" flyers. They flew this with nothing but a compass and the usual old instruments.
The Breguet XIX plane is found in the aircraft folder, and installation instructions/notes are included there.
The tour is recreated in full in the accompanying documents found in the Flight Plans folder. There is a map with the route traced on it. Three different printable versions of the route legs and distances. Flight plan in NAV3 format. Flight plan in ACS-GPS format. Flight plans in FS2002 format. Flight plan in FSNav format. An informational file regarding the tour is also in that folder.
Simply use the plans to recreate this historic tour with the included Breguet plane. Or if you want to do a more contemporary thing, you can use any modern plane that you wish!
In the additional stuff folder inside the Flight Plans folder, you will find additional information regarding the tour and the Breguet XIX plane. There is a historic photo of the squadron getting ready to leave Cuatro Vientos airport. A link to an article in a spanish newspaper (you can use Babelfish or Google to translate it, if you wish.) And other various goodies.
A situation file and weather is included which places the Breguet on the active runway at Cuatro Vientos airport on April 5, 1926, the day the tour started. Simply move the flight and weather file from the Situation File folder to your "flights/myflts" folder in FS2002, and select the flight from the in-game menu.
