Back in the mid-90's Al Pelletier had a website called wings.ark.com which predated all of the big websites of today. I had the pleasure of managing the FS4 file library at that site for a while. One of Al's things even then was the rRound Robin. He would scan maps, create flight plans etc to be flown in a big "circle' returning eventually to your point of origin. Al closed the site long ago but continued to publish a round robin now and then in various FS publications. Now the good news! Over the next few weeks, Al's entire collection will become available at Avsim. There are 4 there now. Check them out. I will be looking at them again for the first time since FS98.
Here's a couple of listing for the RRs (jumbo jets are not required :

There are probably a bit "modern" for most of us but they will give an idea how Al made his packages and they could be flown with vintage liners as well.
