Mission 2: Alaska: Palmer Buddy Woods Municipal (PAAQ) to Quartz Creek (JLA)

This flight, departing Palmer, Alaska, is via some of Alaska’s more rugged and scenic glacier areas. The route will take you through the mountains, rivers and lakes which surround Chugach National Park. We will also view Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska. Our destination airport is Quartz Creek in the town of Cooper Landing, Alaska. This is intended to be a low level and scenic excursion. Hands on the stick!

A 'dispatch' is basically a flight plan with a written scenario you may follow during your flight. The RTMM dispatch provides the same information that would be given to a 'non-virtual' bush pilot.

Also in our dispatches there will be a lot of extra information about the history of the various waypoints along your way as well as geographical information plus other stories intended to make the trip come to life for you.

1. Download the "PLN" (zip) file for the RTMM dispatch
2. Start the FS2020 Flight Sim
3. LOAD the "pln" file from the dispatch zip file to the sim
4. Once the simulator is running and loaded, bring up the dispatch by clicking on "VIEW"
   
5. If you are using one monitor, a "How-to-use" video is HERE
6. Position the dispatch window to the right with only the brown bars showing
7. Reposition the flight sim to cover all but the right brown bar of the dispatch
8. Click on the brown bar and the dispatch will show
   
9. Click on the sim window and the dispatch will be hidden

* Put .pln file from the zip into: Users/[Your Name]/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft Flight Simulator
* NOTAM: Always press F12 to CLEAR out any previous flight plan before adding a new one, (else the old flight plan will remain in play.

VIDEO on How to Use the V2 Formatted Dispatches

When you open a dispatch, you will see a full web page and at first glance it might not make a lot of sense. But here's what you do. Go to the upper right corner of your browser and click on the little square. Then resize your window from the left edge pulling to right so only the Dispatcher's Ribbon is showing ... to the right of your desktop. Move this window to the right edge of your screen and adjust it as you see below.

Now when you click on the brown border, the dispatch opens and you can read the instructions and information. Click again on the flight sim window and you will see almost a full screen except for the brown right edge of the dispatch.

Now, when you click on the brown border, the dispatch opens and you can read the instructions and information. Click again on the Flight Sim window, and you have almost a full screen except for the dispatch right brown edge.

NOTAM: There is an information table at the bottom of each dispatch. If there are any irregularities about the dispatch, you will find the information there. We used to put what scenery locations you would need for the dispatch. But with the new RTMM Express Setup, you will hav all of the scenery locations.
