  1. I had no problem landing at the South Pole using Fs98! I have the freeware version of FsNavigator which helps! Christopher Tarana
  2. I think people mix up FS4 and Fs2002! I have two pages of notes, landmarks for Fs98! I'm working on the same thing for Fs2002! I've read on other websites that you can't land at the poles because of the way FS2002 was programmed! Not true! You can't use compass accurately, but you move your AC in the map view fine! Christopher Tarana
  3. I found Elvis's Graceland Mansion in Fs2002! Just look for a Pink Piano! Thanks! Christopher Tarana
  4. Somebody mentioned that there was no poles in Flight Simulator because of the way it's programmed! I had no problem landing the Cessna Caravan at the South Pole to take screenshots of the Auroras! Now I'm working on landing on the North Pole! Christopher Tarana
  5. I had fly below the 80* South Latitude, and reset the time but I did find the Aurora australis ,Southern Lights! I got one good screenshot from the cockpit. They are as bright as the Northern Lights! Now all I need to find are shooting stars! Christopher Tarana

Cruise Ship=N12* 3.47' W61* 46.23' Alt 616 Feet MSL Located on the promontory to the west of the harbor is Fort George. Built in 1705 by the French, many of the buildings are now used by the police. One of the rooms has been converted to a gym and another to a sort of sewing room. Much of the fort is still intact and open to visitors. However, the buildings are very dilapidated, from a combination of Hurricane damage and neglect, and there is little or no information within the fort itself. There's a good view from the battlements. There is a $2.00 per person fee to visit the Fort. 114 Lighthouse, Martinique=N14* 35.07' W61* 5.81' Alt 000 Feet MSL 115 Oil Tanker - Trinidad=N10* 37.48' W61' 33.28' Alt 360 Feet MSL 116 Yacht Near Saint Vincent=N12* 53.85' W61* 14.14' 305 Feet MSL 117 Cape a Moule a Chique Lighthouse,St Lucia=N14* 0.97' W61* 0.48' 193 Feet MSL 118 Arruba Oil Refinery=N12* 27.50' W69* 53.89' Alt 1089 Feet MSL 119 Paris Nuclear Plant=N48* 42.30' E2* 9.90' Alt 1249 Feet Msl This is the last set for FS98!

    Fs98 Landmarks

The Giza pyramid complex 29°58?34?N 31°7?58?E "Pyramids of Giza" is an archaeological site on the Giza Plateau, on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. Jonesing with Indy - Visiting real world sites of ancient history in Golden Wings. By Christopher Tarana! Comments in Bold Are Image Titles! The Pyramids of Egypt: Preflighting at Giza Airport, Pyramids in the background. The Pyramids of Giza are often called one of the seven wonders of the world. In Flight Simulator 98 there are several pyramids visible from the airport at Giza (Embaba) (HEEM) but little or no mention is made of them. A single situation file allows us to tour the area from the air. We know from the desciption in the situation file that these are the "famous" Pyramids of Giza. What most people probably don't realize is these aren't the only pyramids that are found in FS98, more can be seen further south. We are going to examine all the pyramids and explain which pyramids they are, who built them, and when. We're also going to look over the famous "Sphinx" that faces the rising sun over the Nile. I'm going to take this time to point out that the pyramids that were placed in the Flight Simulator 98 scenery were done with excellent accuracy. I used actual GPS coordinates to infer which pyramid was being represented in the scenery.

The volcano has five crater lakes, with Ni no Ike at 2,905 m (9,531 ft) being the highest mountain lake in Japan. Ontake is a major sacred mountain, and following older shamanistic practices, actors and artists have gone to the mountain to put themselves into trances in order to get divine inspiration for their creative activities. 24 Seattle=N47* 36.76' W122* 19.63' Alt Feet 836 MSL 25 Hot Air Balloon=N47* 56.65' W122* 26.87' Alt 1145 Feet MSL 26 Jerusalem And The Western Wall*=N31* 46.17 E35* 13.64'Alt
