George Blundell-Pound, DC3-1541,
has again gifted DC-3 Airways with a superb, accurate, route structure. The
Sabena Belgian Air Lines' route structure offered accurately represents the
now-defunct airline's 1950 route structure. DC-3s and DC-4s will be needed
to accommodate all 168 flights, which range in length from 23 NM to 1851 NM.
Sabena Belgian Air Lines should be OK for both FS9 and FSX.

The high-quality documentation package,
sabena.zip, matches the realism of the route structure. It contains an
82-page document with all of the flight information, an interesting history
of Sabena Belgian Air Lines (including the derivation of the name "Sabena"),
and many vintage pictures. The main zip file also contains the .PLN files
for all of the flights.
For those who wish to enhance the fs9 African
Scenery, a landclass file is available on both FlightSim.com
and AVSIM.com. The filename is afrilc.zip, a 4 MB file by Jim Keir. That
scenery file also covers portions of Southern Europe. I didn't find an FSX
equivalent, but perhaps that default scenery is already superior to the fs9
version.
Thanks again to George Blundell-Pound for Sabena Belgian Air Lines
and its 168 flights. It is a great piece of work.
