Just checked out the site. Looks pretty nice. You know though that in that area you'll be competing with BFU don't you. That's OK I guess. We often have passengers who keep asking for the "Economy Package". We'll send those your way.
You need to come up with a good livery for WGA. Wonder how you can make Duct Tape look right in a photo editor?
I just noticed that the first flight briefing doesn't show up in the Kneeboard. I fixed it for you. Just copy one of the briefing .html documents to a safe folder and left click on it then choose to open it in Notepad. Next copy the following and replace all the text on your Notepad document with the following.

<br><br>
"Western Gopher Air Flight One"</b><br>
<br>
<b>Estimated time to complete</b><br>
45 minutes. Maybe longer.<br>
<br>
<b>Required knowledge/skills</b><br>
Before attempting this flight, you need your head examined, oh, sorry, you need to know how to fly by dead reconing. Don't worry that's just a figure of speech. You should also be familiar with and comfortable flying the Aero Commander without VOR.
<br>
<br>
<b>Weather</b><br>
It's a pretty nasty morning with fog, heavy rain and a fairly steady 16-kt. wind from the southeast - nothing you and the AC500 can't handle. Don't worry about VFR minimums. The FAA representative has given us permission to fly this one. There goes another weekend bash. This air service stuff is hard on the liquor supply. <br>
<b>WARNING:</b> Our Maintainance Department (Jethro McTull) was tinkering with the instruments earlier. As a result your VOR doesn't work so you'll have to make this flight via ground reference.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>About the flight</b><br>
It's your first day on the job, and you're ready to make a good first impression. Union boss Jerry Stumf needs to travel to Prince George (cyxs) for a contract dispute and has to arrive before 6:00am. He is therefore desperate enough to travel via Western Gopher Air.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Route:</b> CZML to CYXS<br>
<b>Altitude:</b> Anywhere you can see to fly.
<br>
<br>
<b>Directions:</b>Takeoff and follow the highway that passes the airfield on a heading of about 300deg.
Follow the highway past the first of several glacial lakes. Keep following the highway north-westish (be careful; there are of course intersections - be sure you follow the same highway) until it branches into a 'Y'. Take the left-hand fork on a rough heading of 280.
<br><br>
After a few minutes; you'll come to a large (and rather pretty) river valley; follow it on a rough heading of 300-330.
<br><br>
Quite a few miles up the river; you'll encounter a good landmark in Quesnel; a well-appointed single-strip airfield with a runway heading of 31-13. Bypass it and keep heading North(ish) along the river. It'd be best not to let them know about our deal with the CZML FAA rep.
<br><br>
Just after Quesnel; the river makes a couple of sharp bends then a long detour around a more mountainous area. After the detour; it settles down again to a rough 320 heading. A few more miles and you'll come to Prince George; a good-sized town. CYXS is on the south bank; a large airfield with 3 strips; 33-15, 24-6, 19-1. Enter circuit and land; drop Mr. Stumpf off at the terminal building (the single-level white building just behind the tower). ETA is approximately 5:35.

<b>Congrats - you've completed the flight!<b>

Now just hit save (not Save As). and rename the .html file to match the flight file name and you'll have a briefing file that will show up on the Kneeboard inside the cockpit.
I hope you don't mind I embellished a little.
