SUBLOGIC MEDIA POLICY

SubLOGIC Corporation warrants all media for a period of three months from the date of purchase.We will replace any media that are out of warranty at a minimal charge.* SubLOG1C will extend this replacement service for a period of not less than ten years after purchase.

lf you wish to return a defective disk, please return the media only. We have established an efficient and very fast repair/replacement system which promises long-run benefits to you. Returning manuals and/or packaging will complicate the system and will raise shipping costs.

While our turnaround time on defective media is very fast, a backup copy of this disk is also available from SubLOG1C for $10.00 plus proof of purchase. Please specify your computer system and disk format requirements (where applicable) when ordering a backup. If proof of purchase is not available, you may send your disk as proof. We will return the disk and a backup copy to you.

* Example: Replacement charge as of August 1, 1989 - $10.00 for a disk.

Introduction

SubLOG1C Scenery Disks and Scenery Adventure disks are an enhancement designed to expand the potential flying environment of all SubLOG1C flight simulation products including Flight Simulator II, Microsoft Flight Simulator, UFO, Jet and Stealth Mission. You must have a SubLOGIC flight simulation program in order to use this Scenery Disk.

Scenery Disks are developed using NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Sectional Aeronautical Charts and Airport/Facility Directories. These charts divide the world into hundreds of different sectionals. Each sectional includes all of the airfields and radio-navigation aids in the area covered by the chart. Sectional charts also show topographical information and obstacles important to aviators. Scenery Disk databases are digitized from these NOAA sectionals.

Twelve Scenery Disks cover the continental United States. Each disk covers a geographical region of the country and includes the major airports, radio-nav aids, cities, highways, rivers, and lakes located in that region. Scenery Disks #l through #6 cover the Western U.S. with the minimal amount of scenery necessary for cross-country navigation. Disks #7 through #12 will cover the Eastern U.S. in much greater detail, with enough scenery for both visual flight (sightseeing) and VFR or IFR cross-country navigation. A typical Scenery Disk (SD) covers three aeronautical sectionals and includes approximately 100 airports and 100 radio-nav aids. Some SDs may be more detailed since some areas of the country are more densely populated than others.

U.S. Scenery Disk areas are grouped as follows:

 
	WEST			EAST

    1. 	Dallas-Ft.Worth	    7.	Washington
	Houston			Charlotte
	San Antonio		Jacksonville
	Brownsville		Miami

    2.	Phoenix	    	    8.	Memphis
	Albuquerque		Atlanta
	EI Paso			New Orleans

    3.	San Francisco	    9.	Chicago
	Los Angeles		St. Louis
	Las Vegas		Cincinnati

    4.	Klamath Falls	   10. 	Billings
	Seattle			Twin Cities
	Great Falls		Green Bay

    5.	Salt Lake City	   11. 	Lake Huron
	Cheyenne		Detroit
	Denver
			   12. 	Halifax
    6.	Omaha			Montreal
	Wichita			New York
	Kansas City

Scenery Disks for other areas of the worid are also available. Japan Scenery Disk covers the area from Tokyo to Osaka in great detail. "Western European Tour Scenery Disk provides detailed scenery covering southern Great Britain, northern France, and southern West Germany, with a side trip to Red Square in Moscow! San Francisco Scenery Disk covers the Bay area in great detail, and is designed primarily for local area sightseeing.

Scenery Disks are available in 5-1/4" and/or 3-1/2" disk format for most computer Systems. Contact SubLOG1C for information on which scenery areas and disk formats are currently available for your system.

Reading a Sectional Directory

Below is a sample listing from a sectional directory with a description of the information provided. All available airports and radio-nav aids for a given sectional are listed alphabetically. Radio transmitters that border a sectional are also available on neighboring sectionals, so you can cross sectional boundaries when instrument flying.

(1)-----> 24 - CHICAGO <-----(2)

(3)---> Sheboygan Co. Mein WI 

	(4)---> 18001N	16580E	alt. 748 <---(6)

	|  1 Page number    		|
	|  2 Sectional name		|
	|  3 Airport name		|
	|  4 North coordinate		|
	|  5 East coordinate		|
	|  6 Altitude in feet		|
	|  7 Runway Designator, number	|
	|  8 Runway dimensions in feet	|
	|  9 Radio Aid name		|
	| 10 Radio Aid type designator	|
	| 11 Radio Aid frequency	|	
	+-------------------------------+

Notice that the vertical sides of the airport map align with magnetic north. Magnetic north is the direction you are pointing when your magnetic compass reads 0. Each sectional map's VOR needles point toward magnetic north. The sides of the map align with true north. This is consistent with NOAA sectionals.

Conclusion

We intend to periodically update and improve our Scenery Disks to include more airports, radio aids and scenery details recommended by users. If you know of an airport (or other detail) that should be included on future versions of these Scenery Disks, please drop us a line and include the required information ON A SEPARATE SHEET OF PAPER so we may store it in our files. Here's what we need to know:

Airports:		Name, City, & State
			Latitude, Longitude, & Altitude
			Heading, Length, & Width of each runway
Buildings, objects:	Name, City, & State
			Latitude, Longitude, & Dimensions

Pictures and postcards are also welcome, especially aerial views. lf you're unable to determine latitude and longitude, please provide a description of where the airport/object can be located on a map. All customer correspondence is read (and answered when possible). And please remember to include any scenery suggestions or information on a SEPARATE page of your letter.
