Summary: Duhhh... I figgered it out... Manual is Wrong!


Well, for the benefit of anyone else who gets the Amiga Scenery Disk 7
for Sublogic's Flight Simulator II, the manual is incorrect concerning
how to get it cranked up.  I got only one response to my query and that
person said they watched someone else go through exactly the same thing
I did.  So that gave me proper encouragement to try some variations.

I never did get it to work with V1.1 so to begin with, use a V1.2 KICK.
What you have to do is boot the FS2 disk in the usual way.  Then, quick
like a flying fox, before FS2 decides to enter DEMO mode, remove the
FS2 disk and put in the Scenery Disk.  Hit the E key.  The disk will be
accessed, and then you will be transplaced into the middle of a vast
green desert (because of the initial western US coordinates that boot
with the FS2 disk).  Open the NAV menu, select the POSITION SET option,
enter some coordinates from region 7, (the altitudes don't have to be
zero: use the intended location's altitude) and then close the P.S. window.
Now, hit the E key again.  The program will then relocate you where you
wanted to go.  Good Luck...
