One final question JD....I assume that RC is based on American procedures, regardless of where one is flying in the world ?

Some terminologies and procedures change when flying outside of FAA jurisdiction. These follow for the most part ICAO rules. These are mostly in terminal areas and do not affect enroute.Pay particular attention to the manual regarding explanation of transition altitude and transition level and altimeter settings for standard and local pressure. In FAA land this is fixed at 18,000 feet. Elsewhere it varies.Also depending where you are altimeter may be expressed in feet or millibars.Last, don't use the B key in FS, It is hard coded for 18,000 feet transition altitude regardless of where you are and that can change for the area you are in.

It is around May 30th and is in commemoration primarily of those military people who gave their lives in service to the US.
