The Challenge
 Do you want to test your pilot’s skill? Are you ready to accept the challenge? Fly in the Sydney’s sky through 8
'very special' gates at assigned speed and altitude, make a precision landing following the glide slope and you’ll win the challenge! Do you think it is simple? There is a little problem… the jury isn’t very friendly and accepts just two mistakes, in fact, at the third mistake they launch a ground-to-air missile  to shoot you down!! Don’t you believe that? The only way is to try it  J .  Several special effects are waiting  you along the route… discover them by yourself!

 

 


 

What? That should be a gate?

 

The reserved area at Kingsford Smith Int. (YSSY)

Scores

6 gates gives you 10 points and 2 gives 20 points (they are just a little more difficult), the precision landing gives 50 points. From the combination of this points your final score could will be: 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140 or 150. The way through  you will know your score is very original and I let you to discover it by yourself… but obviously you must complete the flight!

 

A special gift from jury

Suggestions

1)   You can choose between two flights with different tolerance: the normal flight accepts a range of +- 100 feet and +- 10 knots, the more difficult flight accepts a range of +- 50 feet and +- 5 knots (it is very hard to fly!). Considering that these ranges are very difficult to appreciate on the gauges, I suggest to active the function that report on the screen the most important flight’s parameter (Shift+Z).

2)    To be able to listen vocal messages verify if in ‘Option’->’Setting’->’Sound’ the cursors related to Lesson and Environment are enabled  and at least on the middle of their course.

3) The file aircraft.cfg of the Cessna 182 will be overwrite. If you already installed a program that modified this file make a backup before install 'The Challenge'. Flight Simulator 9/Aircraft/c182/aircraft.cfg

4) If you speak about this product with your friends don't tell them what you saw during the flight J.

 

Installation

The executable file install_challenge.exe  installs all the necessary at the right place on your hard disk. After the installation you must active the related scenery: from the main window of Flight Simulator select ‘Settings’ -> ‘Scenery Library…’->’Add Area…’ go to ‘Add on Scenery’ directory, select ‘The Challenge’ directory and click on the ‘OK’ button. Remember that with Fs2004 is necessary to restart simulator to have added the scenery.

How to start “The Challenge”

From ‘Flight’->‘Select a Flight’ in the section 1 ‘Choose a category’  select ‘The Challenge’ and in the section 2 ‘Choose a flight’ the flight “The Challenge (normal)” that has a tolerance of +-100 feet and +- 10 knots, or “The Challenge (more difficult) that has a tolerance of +-50 feet and +-5 knots according to your pilot’s capability. After takeoff, when you'll be cleared,  follow heading indicator to flying gate by gate… good luck!!!
