Both Routes are interesting to me. Let's fly one February 15 and the other February 22! Lets get some other opinions as to which flight we do which week. Maybe later on we could start at Catalina! I can do a nice table of the Lake Tahoe route similar to the one I did for Moffett. I'm thinking the ATIS frequency might be a good addition after the field elevation, although the format I modeled the table after had Magnetic Variation in that location. FS 2004 doesn't seem to offer Mag. Var. in the map view popups, and the ones on the old Sublogic maps I have is probably out of date.

I'm not familliar with all the tweaks involving things like fuel mixture and calculating the flights fuel burn to the point of having only a reasonable margin of safety reaching the destination. Both probably keep my speed down a bit. I would much prefer cruising at 85 to 95 percent and having a bit of throttle range so I can catch up if I start to fall behind. Being 5 miles from the tiny dot representing anouther plane isn't nearly as much fun as being about half a mile away and being able to see the shape of the plane and it bank turning at a waypoint. Using the Simulator rate or CTRL-SHIFT-F feels a bit like cheating. CTRL-SHIFT-F tends to result in a collision to often too.
