I am fairly new to flight simulator and have just purchased the FSX simulator. I am a pilot and will be transitioning from a Cessna 172 to a Piper Arrow or Warrior. I would like to know if you can install old FS2004 planes into the new FSX program. If so, how do I do this? I remember when adding planes to FS2004 there was a FS9 folder that I could open and then extract files to, however I don't see anything like that in the new FSX program. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The same way as before.
The aircraft folder is now hidden in the "simobjects" folder.
Many, if not most of the 2004 gauges won't load or perform well in FSX.

Thanks Radar Man. I had my checkout ride in a Piper Warrior II today. I think I am going to like flying that better than the Cessna 172. Have a good Turkey day.
