First you gotta make sure that you've got the right crack as there are two different ones. One for fs9 and one for fs9.1...

Ok, first of all: Did you or did you not apply the official Microsoft update which renders fs9 into what's called fs9.1?
If you didn't, this crack is the correct one. If you did, this is the wrong crack. _________________ "It is universally accepted that an admission of atheism would be instant political suicide for any presidential candidate."

No, this update doesn't auto download, seems you got the right crack.
You seem to have problems finding what in the Readme file is referred to as 'root folder'
You have to navigate to 'Microsoft Games'.
Next, click on the word Flight Simulator 9 this will open your fs9 'root folder'.
In this root folder find FS9.EXE and rename it to orig.FS9.EXE. (You've just backed up the original .exe file.)
Now you can copy and paste the crack (fs9.exe) into this root folder.
Done. _________________ "It is universally accepted that an admission of atheism would be instant political suicide for any presidential candidate."

As soon as you can afford it buy a joystick with a twist handle otherwise you'll get gray hair before your time.
Since I have no idea where you're at, I'd suggest you refer to the 'Learning center' frequently. The rest is practice, practice, practice...
We've all done it the same way. You can always ask specific questions in the forum if you need help. _________________ "It is universally accepted that an admission of atheism would be instant political suicide for any presidential candidate."

Alright, when I see the word "crack", I think pirate. Please say it isn't so. If it is, where's the link? Hell, I'm no Angel!

Hahaha Art, nonono... there are many types of cracks.
I can't remember now whether you've ever owned fs9. Unlike FSX where all you have to do is click on the FS icon to startup the sim, fs9 by default can ONLY be started up by inserting Disk1.
Once the sim (fs9) has started up, you can take the Disk out and continue simming for as long as you want. ...until you exit the sim.
Obviously Microsoft had piracy in mind when they came up with that stupid idea -- what where they thinking???
As we've all experienced (all except the Microsoft geniuses it seems), all too often it is the safest practice to exit and restart the sim after having installed certain add-ons. There where occasions when I had to restart the sim twenty times an hour... now you add that up over a time span of a month and your optical drive starts rebelling.
The crack in question here is simply a hacked fs9.exe file which allows you to start the sim WITHOUT having to insert Disk1 and thus prevents unnecessary strain on your DVD drive.  _________________ "It is universally accepted that an admission of atheism would be instant political suicide for any presidential candidate."
