MS-DOS

Summary:

The following information is from the Microsoft Flight Simulator Version 4.00a README.DOC file.

Navigation Information
  The VOR frequency for Martha’s Vineyard is 108.2, not 108.7 as shown on the New York and Boston Area chart. 108.7 is the ILS frequency.   The CT frequency for Fairchild is 122.8, not 112.8 as shown on the Seattle Area chart.   The San Francisco and Oakland VOR stations are slightly offset in the San Francisco and Oakland Area chart. Use airport location as location of VOR station.   On some machines, the EFIS/CFPD will change color near the runway during ILS approaches. This indicates you have descended to “decision height”, the altitude at which you must decide whether to land the plane or abort the landing and “go around” for another landing attempt.   When using some Microsoft-compatible scenery disks, the Dynamic Scenery items will not be displayed.   SubLOGIC “Instant Facilities Locator” for Flight Simulator Version 3.00 can be used with Flight Simulator Version 4.00 if you have a hard disk system. After running the program “HDSETUP” as indicated in Facilities Locator instructions, type the following at the DOS prompt to rename a file: rename config.fs3 config.fs4 (then press the ENTER key) After renaming the file, you will note the new “G Facilities Locator” option in the NAV/COM menu the next time you use Flight Simulator.
