There is a bug in my (5.25 inch, IBM) copy of MS flight simulator 3.0.
It would be interesting to see if others have this problem. I called
MS, and they said that it had already been reported, but it was an inter-
mittent problem. I doesn't seem to be intermittent on my machine, it always
fails.
The bug:
When flying from south to north, Napa Airport is MISSING until you've
flown a couple of miles north of it, then it magically appears in back of
you. When flying south toward it, the airport is visible until you're a mile
to two out, at which point it vanishes.
I have only tried this with the cessna, I assume that it also fails with
the jet.

Have you also noticed that images of Rod Sterling keep appearing in the side window ? :-) Sorry, couldn't resist.

The same thing happens when you fly there in a real airplane. Some blame it on the wine, others on the hippies who moved there from San Francisco. Clint Eastwood is rumored to be considering a bid for mayor of Napa just to address this very problem. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) Nathan Meyers nathanm@hp-pcd
