Welcome to the DC-3 Airways World Rally Flights 2004.

Now you have unzipped the main zip file you will find included with this readme file two folders entitled:
WR 04-06 Harrismith to Durban FS2002
WR 04-06 Harrismith to Durban FS2004
 Choose the folder that refers to the flightsim version you prefer and open it.

You will find included in each folder the following files:
Please read first.txt
WR 04-06 Harrismith to Durban (Folder. This is the weather file)
WR 04-06 Flight description.pdf (This is the flight description)
WR 04-06 Flight description.doc (This is the flight description)
Departure.pdf
En-Route1.pdf
En-Route2.pdf
En-Route3.pdf
En-Route4.pdf
En-Route5.pdf
Approach.pdf
Durban, Airport layout.jpg
Harrismith, Airport layout.jpg
'Real Weather'installation instructions.txt
WR 04-06 Harrismith to Durban.fsn

You will find it a great help if you print the following files:
WR 04-06 flight description.pdf  or WR 04-06 flight description.doc (These are the two versions of the flight description)
As well as printing, hand numbering the following files will help to keep track of events as the flight unfolds.
Departure.pdf
En-Route1.pdf
En-Route2.pdf
En-Route3.pdf
En-Route4.pdf
En-Route5.pdf
Approach.pdf
Durban, Airport layout.jpg
Harrismith, Airport layout.jpg

It may help to print the 'Real Weather' installation instructions prior to installing the weather folder WR 04-06 Harrismith to Durban.

This is quite a long and difficult navigational flight, but as long as strict attention is paid to the allowance for the strong winds by taking heed of Charlie's suggestion to obtain and master the use of the E6-B flight calculator you should have few problems. May I suggest though that prior to the final approach to each aiport you visit, you 'save' the flight and make a note of the elapsed time, just in case...!

WE STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU DOWNLOAD THE FOLLOWING SCENERY TO FULLY ENJOY THIS FLIGHT.

.............................................................................................

The fahrv2.zip file has created a few minor problems to install in FS2004 as it is intended primarily for FS2002 and the installation must be modified. 
Maybe the following advice will ease things for you if you are not an 'expert' yet! I am not either! but this way worked for me.
Unzip the fahrv2.zip file into a temporary folder. Inside you will find a further fahrv2.zip and installation instructions.
Open up the fahrv2.zip that is included (ignore the installation instructions) and open the fahrv2 folder that is created. Now open the enclosed SCENEDB folder and copy the enclosed SAScenerySM folder. Now navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Scenery and paste the SAScenerySM folder into the FS9 Scenery folder.
Start FS9 and go through the 'Add Scenery' routine described below. I reckon that should sort you out.

For FS2004, After starting FS2004, in the opening window click on 'Settings', and in the window that opens, in the 'Scenery' box, click on 'Scenery Library...' In the window that opens, click on 'Add Area' and navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Scenery and click on 'SAScenerySM'. 
Now click OK, the SAScenerySM entry will appear in the scenery list. 
Restart FS2004 and start WR 04-06 Harrismith to Durban. You will now find yourself at a transformed Harrismith airport.
