Good ridge-soaring weather with a Northwesterly wind is provided to allow flying the main Talgarth ridge and beyond.
The LS4 nav computer will show your altitude and distance from Talgarth, which is at 950 ft.
Currently this challenge is downloaded as the 'New file'.
Copy the kjb-disc-ukbgatps-LS4 folder into your Community folder.

=============end of V 1.1=========
A Point-of-Interest marker is generated in-game at the site of each turnpoint giving its code (three or four letters) and a short description.
The data is taken from the official list, published at http://www.newportpeace.co.uk/turningpoints.htm.
The Discovery flight can be found in the Activities - Custom Content page (not the Discovery Flights page).
Good soaring weather is provided to allow cross-country flights for navigation practice and turnpoint familiarisation.
Where the turnpoint is an airfield in current use in MSFS, an MSFS-generated airfield POI may also be present.
Note that Discovery missions will have music playing, you can disable music in the General Options - Sound tab.
POIs are also additative, so if you have other Discovery flights within the UK you might see POIs from both flights in both flights.
The turnpoints will also appear in the World Map for flight planning so you can use them in planning your own cross-country tasks.
I can create alternative start points on request, given suitable gliding locations :)
