Hello, I just got the Goose with the custom classics pacakage. All of the custom scenery and everything makes this the best add-on I have ever used. I am trying to navigate to locations that I am told to go to in a flight I selected. For example, Flight to Eel Island, thats the one I am on right now. It tells me to fly east by southeast till you pick up the ndb on Eel Island. What is the ndb?  This might be a stupid question, but a little help would be appreciated. Thanks, scubakobe (PS: The peruvian flight to machu picchu is also very confusing, spent more than an hour on it lol) |

Thanks, scubakobe (PS: The peruvian flight to machu picchu is also very confusing, spent more than an hour on it lol) The NDB is a non-directional beacon. You will find a map of the Islands in the co-pilot's side pocket which shows the frequencies. Check the CGRead.htm for the location of the radios. Set the multi radio to ADF (automatic direction finder) as shown in the picture and enter the frequency from the map. Watch your heading as instructed. when you get within range of the NDB, the ADF radio will point to it and you can adjust your heading to keep the arrow centered. I don't know what to say about Macchu Piccu. First time I tried it, I took off flew to the ruins, landed (barely) took off again (scary) and flew back down the river. |

Ok, I got it working. Thanks, now I can finally do the flights!
Now, about machu picchu, when I start the flight I start in a river. When I head all the way to the end of the river it dead ends, now I'm lost. I pull out the trusty map (Turns out to not be handy) and have no clue where I am. So I choose Go To Airport, and go to the airport closest to lake titicaca. Then I look for the river coming off of that lake, which leads to the ruins as it shows on the map. Well there wasnt any one long river, they were all little lakes and stuff. Where, basically, do you go to get there?

OK, here's the map. Your start location is marked at the Y of the rivers. The plane is just above the ruins.  and here is a picture showing what you are looking for. The plane is in the position noted on the map. (BIG picture) www.mainescenery.com/macchu.jpg |
