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 _________________

Fs2000 was great ...........at the time but really shows its age now but was far more advanced than the first flight sims
http://simflight.com/~fshistory/fsh/index.htm
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 _________________

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 _________________
