FSX Water, Water, Everywhere Set 3 Scotland

This is the third in a series of flights for FSX, using a floatplane to navigate between inland water features in the UK. There are no flight plans, only detailed briefings to help you find your way. Please find much more in the Readme which is included. This set features four quite long flights in Scotland, the land of mountains and lochs in profusion. By Gordon Wilkinson.

These flights involve flying from one inland lake or reservoir to another in different areas of the United Kingdom in a floatplane/seaplane. This is a nice experience, taking off and landing on a wet surface with no runways to worry about, no ATC to bother with, and no AI traffic to get in the way (turn all air traffic off).
Be sure you know how to use the water rudders.

The series of flights is planned to exploit the more dramatic areas of scenery in the UK, which are much enhanced by the addition of one or other of the appropriate Photographic Scenery packages now available. UTX Europe and GEX Europe are also highly desirable. I would say that these addons are essential to a proper enjoyment of these flights. I would also suggest that you search for and install the following:

• scotland.zip
• UK Fuel Storage Depots
• UK Windfarms
• UK Windfarms (Vol 2)
• UK ANO FSX
• UK Mills
• UK Refineries

All of the above will add nice little touches as you fly around the UK. Once they are all available, the Horizon VFR Photographic Scenery packages will make a huge difference to flying in Scotland (funds permitting!).
