This document contains information not found (or not correctly stated)
in the Flight Simulator Information Manual or navigation charts.

Navigation information:
-----------------------
* The NAV 1 Lock option of the AUTOPILOT does not track the radial as well
  as expected; it's accuracy depends on the scenery area you are flying in,
  and will be improved in the next version of Flight Simulator.

* 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.

* SubLOGIC "Instant Facilities Locator" for Flight Simulator v3.0 can be used 
  with Flight Simulator v4.0 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 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.

Multi-Player information:
-------------------------
* In Multi-Player, a baud rate of 57600 is supported, but is not recommended.
  Its advantage is faster aircraft send/receive and messages, but it has no
  effect upon the smoothness of the other player's flight, and can degrade
  system performance.

* To dial using Touch-Tone dialing, precede the phone number with: ATDT
* To dial using Pulse dialing, precede the phone number with: ATDP

* When using the "Send Aircraft" option, it may be helpful to press the 2 key
  2 or 3 times to ensure the aircraft-type is sent to the other machine.

* When sending messages, limit the length of the message to what is displayed 
  in the message box.

General information:
--------------------
* For best results with the "FS4" demo, select option "D. Neither" 
  in the Environment Conditions menu during installation.

* When using Flight Simulator on a 8086/8088 machine, use the following
  guidelines to enhance Flight Simulator performance:
  - Use the Display Control menu to reduce the demand on display rates.
  - Set Spot Plane Transition to "Fast" for quicker views of plane.
  - Limit the use of multiple windows, Dynamic Scenery, and Weather items.

* When Using Flight Simulator with the OS/2 operating system:
  If you are using EGA or VGA display and switch from Flight Simulator to
  another application, and then return to Flight Simulator, prompt a
  refresh of the screen by one of the following methods:
	* Press the ESC key.
	* Select a menu, then press the SpaceBar.

* Some advanced features and multiple windows may not be available on 384K
  machines, depending on how the machine allocates video memory.
  Use of the Logbook and Flight Instruction may be limited when using 384K.

* When recording a demo and DEMO RECORDER option D is set to a 1 second 
  recording interval, your keystrokes will be recorded for approximately
  twelve minutes.  Stop demo recording within 12 minutes to retain the demo.

* When using a machine with a digital clock display (i.e., WYSE 286), the
  clock may advance minutes faster than normal time.  When you quit
  Flight Simulator, the clock will reset to current system clock time.

* International users: If you are using a non-USA keyboard, some of
  the controls of Flight Simulator may not be assigned to the keys the
  documentation describes or the menus display.  To confirm the correct
  key to press for a specific action, please refer to the Quick Reference
  Card and use the same physical key as indicated on the keyboard template,
  regardless of the letter or character it gives.
