Trains and Bus:
* Trains and Bus: Select Leeds-Bradford (--airport=EGNM) airport, scenario railway_demo, fly 165 deg until you get to Wakefield. Look around: there is a railway line to the south of the city, and one to the east. The bus runs out to the west. Look carefully - the trains and bus are very hard to pick out.

* Steam Train: Select Topcliffe (--airport=EGXZ) airport, --ai-scenario=steam_train_demo, fly 082 deg distance 21 nm. Look around: the railway line runs SW from the village of Pickering. You should easily see the steam from the engine.


Steam Train:
* ICE3: Select Frankfurt (--airport=EDDF) airport,  --ai-scenario=ICE3_demo, hang about a bit, The ICE3 runs close to the main terminal, and is relatively easy to spot.

* Vinson Battlegroup: Just use --ai-scenario=vinson_demo, the various ships are all around. If you use MPCarrier, then the Battlegroup is visible on the radar.
