DISCLAIMER: Some of the files included in this package have not been created by me - I just fixed a few errors, tested them in FS2002 and put them in one place.

OK Simmers, I am sure many of you already know much of this but I am also sure many do not...
FS2002 is likely the best Flight Simulator for people like myself who are just having some fun, I am NOT a pilot and the info I provide may help you get FS2002 to do what you want but I have little idea if any of my modifications make things 'more realistic', just more fun...

This package assumes you can add aircraft and make simple edits to the aircraft.cfg files, I will try to give brief explainations in some cases but if you are totally lost as to how you add aircraft, sounds and panels to FS2002 I suggest FlightZip or some other utility to do this for you.
One of the better applications (all I will mention are FREE) to manage aircraft ect is called AddIt! Pro, it will allow you easy access to the aircraft.cfg files as well as sound and panel configs. Anyway, to the good stuff...

I will cover these areas in the files named below:
Getting ATC (Air Traffic Control) to recognize your 3rd party aircraft properly - ATC.txt
Modifying the Aircraft used by the AI in FS2002 (the other planes flying around) - AI.txt
Better, more advanced Flight Plans - PLAN.txt
Other Tips and Tricks; aircraft, flight plan, sound and panel info - TIPS.txt
Things I am looking for (maybe you can help me ;> - LOOKING4.txt

I am willing answer questions or provide further help via email on these subjects as well.
