4.  Setup

Below is a list and description of the Cross-Country Soaring 98 files.  If you're concerned that these files may have the same names as files already in your Flight Simulator directory, then check the list for name conflicts.  If there are no name conflicts, then simply place the files where outlined below.  If there are name conflicts, then rename files as needed before moving them to the appropriate directories.  Cross-Country Soaring 98 will not be affected by renaming the adventure file or any scenery files (so long as their file extensions remain the same), but changing the name of a sound file will cause it to not be found by the adventure when called upon.  There are no known filename conflicts with standard Flight Simulator files, but a conflict is possible if you've installed or created a lot of add-on scenery or adventures.

Here's where to place files:

SOARSFCA.ADV - in the "ADV" directory

SOARSFCA.BGL - in the "SCENERY" directory
SOARSFC2.BGL
SOARSFC3.BGL
SOARSFC4.BGL
SOARSFC5.BGL

VARIO0.WAV - in the "ADV\WAV" directory
VARIO1.WAV
VARIO2.WAV
VARIO3.WAV
VARIO4.WAV
VARIO5.WAV
VARIO6.WAV
VARIO9.WAV
SOARING6.WAV

SOARSFCA.STN - in the "SITUATIO" directory

• SOARSFCA.ADV is the main adventure program and is a necessary part of Cross-Country Soaring 98.
• *.BGL files are scenery files fundamental to the simulation of thermals and are necessary for Cross-Country Soaring 98.
• *.WAV files are sounds (vario sounds and "Ready to begin" announcement) that enhance the program.
• SOARSFCA.STN is a "Situation" file that gives a good starting point for a soaring flight in the Cross-Country Soaring 98 "soarable" area.
