Let'sgoflying!
Touchdown! Greaser!
with the end goal being to print out on 8x11 photo paper something functional.
After purchasing and downloading
http://naco.faa.gov/ecomp/Catalog.aspx?a=AERO+NOS+DIGITAL+DSEC
I unzip (Winzip Eval version, takes a couple minutes to open) and save, then open the pic (it defaults to Readiris)
and Readiris only has about 2 zooms available. Not too useful!
So I usually have to 'PrintScreen' and copy to Word, where I can crop and stretch to the right size, then adjust contrast (usually more, they seem washed out).
NOW I can print. About 20 minutes. If the computer doesn't crash.
Seems ridiculously laborious. I'd just buy a chart if I had access to them. If I find out I am going somewhere in <2 days though, forget it. I guess I could pay 25$ for Fedex, but the charts are right here...
