HOW TO BEGIN WITH TAMPA1.ZIP

If you have already the STPETE1.SC1 on your FS4 directory..delete
it from there because it will conflict with TAMPA1.SC1...and only
left the MOD files (you could use the MOD files with TAMPA1.SC1)

If you don't have STPETE1.SC1 we highly recommend that you download
it from Compuserve, read the text file and get all the mod files
copied to your FS4 directory.


UnZIP and copy all the files included to your FS4 directory, like so:
PKUNZIP TAMPA1

SUPERIMPOSED RUNWAYS

If you found that Tampa Area Runways are superimposed over or
under the new created runways, use Chris Manrique APTFIX.EXE
to erase the original runways from there.

(you could get APTFIX.EXE from Compuserve Gamer's Forum, Lib 12)


ESPECIAL APPROACHES & NOTES

NORTH BAY:
One of my favorite approach for St Petersburg Clearwater is the
NORTH BAY VISUAL APPROACH for runway 17L for faster aircrafts
and/or 17R for light one's as published by NOAA.

This is the procedure:

You could take off at any northeast airport, (i.e) Plan City,
Lakeland, but preferably from one to the north like Orlando Int'l
(I usually take off from Orlando Int'l and fly at a heading of
220... you could get this SC1 on Compuserve by the name
of ORLANDO1.SC1).

First tune to PIE VOR on 116.4 and your ADF to CAPOK NDB 240 then
fly from northeast at a heading between 220 and 300 to intercept
the CAPOK NDB 250 'bearing'...when you have the proper 250 bearing
fly direct to it...use PIE VOR only for DME purpose...
when you are about 15 miles VOR tune it to 190 degree.

<>

Be alert to visual contact with the POWER PLANT right to the east
side of the Bay...don't distract with the bridges to your left and
don't hesitate, be patient the P.PLANT will show in a moment...
Watch your altitude..I recommend a 900 feet for light aircrafts...
reduce your speed when you have the P.PLANT.....when over the it
turn to a heading of 190...watch you VOR..and tune it to 170...

Wait until you are over the first bridge to turn to your right and
intercept the 170 radial if you want or make the final touchdown
visually.

LANDING SYSTEM:
Some ILS may not work properly on certain airports due to repair or
maintenance, etc...If you want some additional fun we recommend
you try the 'OUT OF SERVICE' system and see what happen.








FINAL NOTES

I take the liberty to enhance the Jack W. Tunstill STPETE1 static
scenery (STPETE1.SC1) to make a more beautiful area of it...

I make a mayor repair to the bridges in Tampa Bay and I add many
detail to the area althought I try not to touch the airport design
except for a couple of lines and similar stuff...so the original file
remain almost intact.

Enjoy the area and send any comments or edited files via Compuserve
to --AIM-- 73730,362.
