Downloading Planes:

hi all
i will be getting flight2002 soon
do u just download the plane to your hardrive and then it is in the game??????? do u have to do anything else then????

Most d/loads come with a read me file,have a look in there for anything special
As a rule though if you d/load a plane (make sure its not just a repaint) you unzip it an put it in the aircraft folder
(it sould look something like this --lets say a 737)

After unzipping you open the folder and see 4 other folders=Model,Panel,Texture and sound(you may see a few text files and jpegs......dont worry about them)
Just put the main 737 folder into the aircraft folder of fs8 and then start up the sim and it should show(if not try the aircraft editor which comes with fs8)

Good luck and enjoy
If you get stuck someone will allways help

thx for da help tom
there is a aircraft editor???? fs2000 sounds shit compared to this

Fs2000 was great ...........at the time but really shows its age now but was far more advanced than the first flight sims

See what I mean

Yes there is a aircraft editor in 2002 which can be tricky to find
On your desk top click start /all programs/microsoft games/fs2002......and it should come up as an option

You could create a shortcut for your desktop

Enjoy

That link is not the one I thought it was

The biggest differances are Scenery,weather and atc
Again you need a mid to high spec pc to get the most out of it

go to www.simviation.com and check the downloads, u can download a thing where the plane crashes actually make a big explosion, i havent tried it but it looks good.

did u ever buy for amazon.com???
i ordered on monday, i got an email today saying my item was sent today
i was expecting it today or friday, guess it will be monday or tuesday

i like da look of da British Airways 747, its beast of a thing

whats the multiplayer like???????/

I've used Amazon in the UK and if its in stock you normally get it the next day

I've not tried the multiplayer but there is a forum section for it,so try that question in there
