I highly recommend installing a few other community add-ons:
- Channel Islands National Park, California
- Also requires: Mikea.at - AssetPack and Dave's Crooked Library
- KAVX Catalina Airport (ACE Clearwater Airfield)
Thank you to Wookie042, Mikea.at, BadMed, and JosueMejia for this excellent scenery!

Suggested airplane, weather, departure time, and autopilot settings:
- Flight Design CTLS (hand flying) or Pipistrel 121SW (auto-pilot)
- Clear Skies
- Noon
- CDI SRC twice (to get to GPS mode), NAV mode, climb to 1500 ft, ALT mode
Note: The flight plan ends at Catalina Island, which is a gorgeous airport but adds about 80 miles to the trip. You may want a Cirrus SR22 if you're hoping to keep the travel time to around an hour.

Hello!
I host a live stream and fly-in (Twitch / Discord) every week where we explore the National Parks together!
Before the stream, I research the park and help improve the park's Wikipedia pages. I also make a flight plan to showcase the park highlights and in case others want to fly along with me.
In the zip file you'll find:
- The .pln file with named waypoints (load this from the World Map screen of MSFS 2020)
- Relevant park map(s)
- A screenshot of where this flight plan goes relative to the park map
- MBTiles file(s) in case you have Foreflight or another app which supports these (this is how I overlay the flight plan and the park map when I fly around)
- ForeFlight .fpl file which matches the .pln in case you prefer ForeFlight (consider using a tool like Flight-Events as a GPS/AHRS device)
All the best,
Jules
P.s. I highly recommend pulling Wikipedia up on the side and looking at the park while you explore.

Hmm. I can't recall if it showed up on the actual glass panel, but the Pipistrel at least followed the waypoints just fine when I was testing... It's loading in the world map you're saying, but not in the plane when it actually enters the sim?
