INSTALLATION
============
1) Remove all instances of ArrCab carriers from FS Scenery Library and from your hard disk drive. Flushing your cache may be necessary.

2) Close FS.

3) Make sure your unzip program recreates folders. Winzip and others do so automatically. Others require you to check a checkbox.

4) Unzip this archive into your FS2002 main folder with "recreate folders" enabled. This will place all the files into the correct destination folders. For example, under "...\AddOn Scenery\" there will appear a new folder called "AC CV67 CVN68", with its own \Scenery and \Texture subfolders.

5) Start FS, then use "Settings > Scenery Library" (or ALT-W-I from cockpit) per FS instructions to add scenery entries, one entry per "AC CV..." folder.

When adding, do NOT cache this scenery. Select "use scenery directly".

DO NOT CACHE THIS SCENERY

If you have problems with disappearing (or never appearing) carriers, then the only solution I know (beyond "use scenery directly") is to split them up into still more separate folders and Scenery Library entries. Don't forget that each carrier has a special .bmp file in the texture subfolder (not in the main FS texture folder).

6) Download ArrestorCables (the utility) from the web site and install per its instructions. The .dat file already includes entries for all of these carriers.

Read the documentation and the web site and FAQ if you're just learning how to land on carriers with ArrCab. The docs give specific instructions and tips on debugging your landings. Practice, practice, practice.
