First off, the installation seems to be incomplete. The SeaRey shows up as a selection in the Change aircraft menu and I am able to select and fly it but there is NO documentation on the kneeboard (Reference or Check List). Furthermore, the aircraft is not in the C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\SteamApps\\common\\FSX\\SimObjects\\Airplanes folder. This seems strange to me because I was under the impression that FSX compiled the list of aircraft you can select from that folder. Also, the Discover Arabia missions do not appear in the Missions Menu. Steam did the installation behind the scenes so I don't think the above is a matter of pilot error.I am also having a problem flying the aircraft it seems to me to be very unstable along the lateral axis and I find it very time consuming to trim for straight and level flight or stay on the glide slope. When the first two issues are fixed I will revisit the issue of lateral stability and my recommendation.. You access the flight plans by loading them when in free flight mode and follow them in the aircraft using the GPS. I bought this add on when on offer at just over \u00a35 and recommend it, as not only do you get the plans but also the plane which for this price is good value for money. It covers an area of the globe that I don't often fly and has made things more interesting, particularly whilst using the FSX ATC.. I have no idea where it is. I can see the files on my hard drive but FSX-SE just cannot "see"those files. I paid the money but .....I had to say something in the either...or recommendation. I have no idea if it's a good gameor not. My paid-for FSX-SE just cannot find it.. For those having a hard time finding the "flight plans" from the mission screen check the boxed for saved flights and then scroll down through the missions and you will see the Arabia missions (flight plans). Additionally, I don't understand why people are complaining about the flight mechanics of the included aircraft. I find it very easy to fly once everything is trimmed out. If you are looking to just explore in MS Flight Simulator this will assist you in doing so.. Another beautifully crafted plane. The attention to (visual) detail is pretty astonishing. But as others have pointed out, this craft lacks both the Checklist and Reference pages on the kneeboard and requires a LOT of trimming. Don't expect it to fly straight under anything except the calmest of conditions.The flight plans are interesting enough. This is not a part of the world I fly much, and they serve as a welcomed reminder that there is an entire world to be explored in FSX! That being said, they aren't part of any mission and won't appear in your mission selector. Instead, you need to load the flight plans in Free Flight.And for those of you searching for those flight plans:C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\SteamApps\\common\\FSX\\DLC\\343952\\DLCMyDocsIf you are searching for realism, PDMG this is not. If you are looking for fun and interesting ways to kill time, this will keep you busy for several hours at least.. I was underwhelmed by this addon. Other than the plane (which is nice despite the lack of documentation), the addon has the feel of a community-based set of custom flightplans or something...no real missions, and even the "missions" that are there are hard to find.On a positive note...since most "missions" are just a flightplan, it has given me time to learn the radio a little better.This addon is NOT worth the $16.99 US they are charging.. its what it says it is if its not enough just go plan your own flights and get planes your self. Not impressed. They are not proper missions. There is not instructions. Nothing on the knee-baord. Just loadable flights. For what they are this should have been priced around \u00a35 not \u00a313. Seems very poor quality for the price. Lets hope the DLC for FSX gets better than this.
