# The Mission Editor & SimVar by Jim keir is used to simply automate Tow Call, Tow Disconnect, Gear up, Exit Open, Exit Close, Spoiler set, Spoilers normal, the rest is you.
# Created using default FSX terrain, not sure of the effect of any enhanced 3rd party terrain products.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** Very Important ***
# Simvar was used to automate some functions as stated above, should be installed or some trigger may not fire, will be installed with install executable.
# Run the Executable to Install Mission, Will install in FSX Root/Missions/Challenges Directory.
# Please verify the rewards, they should be installed with the Installation executable - 1stplace.rwd, 2ndplace.rwd, 3rdplace.rwd, 4thplace.rwd.

Mission Sequence of Events -

# Parked at small airstrip near Jackson Hole, waiting for Tow Plane.
# Gliders 1 & 2 takeoff Airstrip 2, Maule 1 takeoff from Airstrip 1, maule 2 Lands on Airstrip 1, Tow plane comes to pick you up.
# SimVar will call Tow plane for takeoff, strip is tight between tower and tree on Airstrip 1, be careful, manuever if need be, but do not break tow cable.
# Spoilers should be set to 50% by SimVar, you can adjust as needed, Tow plane will take you to an altitude of 10,000 feet, SimVar will disconnect you when at 10,000 feet.
# Fly to Jackson Hole Airport, Pass airport, Race will begin, AI Racers will be above you at around 14,500 feet. Thermals should be near you.
# Fly to Driggs, try to gain altitude as needed to get over Mountain Range, Gain altitude as need under 17,000 feet for return leg.
# Once near Driggs you will be give the OK, to return to Jackson Hole, AI Racers will start at 16,000 feet for return leg.
# Thermals are off for the return leg, choose your route wisley, remember you will need to land at Jackson Hole and make a complete stop for your time to stop.
# The AI Racers will be required to land and stop as well. Make the Finish interesting.
# Awards will be given for the 4 places. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th.
# The AI are unfortunately fixed, they are pre-recorded Flights to and from Driggs, they will always finish in the same order, unless I put a Random Timer in there, not sure If I did.
# Do not know why I had them land, It seemed a little more challenging then just cruising past a finish line. Reducing Speed and Altitude is always fun and challanging.
# You will need to maka complete stop for your time to finish, So hurry land and stop.
# remember to stay under a Max speed of 135 knots airspeed. You will obtain damage if you do not.
# Have Fun and Good Luck.

This mission as are all my Missions are purley Fictional. I have no Experience in Air Traffic Communication nor do I fly Aircraft for Real life. Everything is WysiWyg. Everything I do is Free, Do with it What you want but please keep it Free.

When a Green Arrows appears as a Point of Interest, Drive to the Green Arrow and stop. Also you control your own Crash Behavior. Pressing the 'U' key controls the on screen Compass and Arrow indicators.

My Scenery Settings where set to just High when making the Mission, and I used the default FSX Terrain Mesh.

Cheers Have Fun -
