For
example, you might find yourself looking at something more like the screen shot
here. I have taken the liberty of reusing part of the FS2000 tutorial here (hence
the reversion to Windows 98) largely because it saves me having to rewrite a
chunk of text.
The one thing you can't do if you end up with a mess of files like this is to install them into FS2002 just as they are, because they all need to be in one named aircraft folder. Fortunately our 757 is packaged into one folder with the aircraft's name on it, but I am going to show you what to do if you ever happen to download a plane where this isn't the case.
So make sure you still have the Junk directory selected in Explorer, so that all the files and folders within it are visible, and then left click on the word 'File' on Windows Explorer's menu bar (that's at the very top left, just under where it says 'Exploring Junk').
When
the file menu drops down, left click on the 'new' prompt, which should appear
some way down the menu. Yet another sub-menu will spring out. Left click the
word 'Folder' on this one, and the menu should disappear and a new folder should
appear with the name highlighted under the icon. Type in a name for the plane
here. You can call it anything you want, but I would advise against choosing
the names of your kids or you may find it tough remembering what is
in the folder when you browse through your planes later on. In this case, the
files belong to a Boeing 747, so it could be called 747Sabena or something
like that.
In this example we'll call the folder containing the plane B7473SAB.
Now
for a tricky bit. I want you to select every other file and folder in the Junk
folder and drag it into the B7473SAB folder, until it is the only folder visible
in the Junk folder.
OK, that should be enough to show you the general principle. Hit the back key and let's carry on with our 757 installation.
