1. Unzip file by using for example WinZip,
Mostly you will find something like this in the unzipped map:
-model
-panel
-sound
-texture
-and some other files
2. Open Windows Explorer (verkenner) and place the maps/ file in your MS Flight Simulator aircraft directory:
Example: C:\program files\microsoft games\flight simulator 2002\aircraft\(the map which includes the maps and files mentioned above)
3. Start MS Flight Simulator and open your aircraft - Good Luck!
- 2. How to add effects
to a downloaded aircraft?
Add the following to aircraft.cfg of the downloaded aircraft:
[EFFECTS]
wake=fx_wake
water=fx_spray
dirt=fx_tchdrt
concrete=fx_sparks
touchdown=fx_tchdwn_s, 1
Save file to the same name(always make a backup of the original file)
The effects are now added to your aircraft!
Good luck!

All others mostly:

(verkenner) and place the maps/ files in your MS Flight Simulator scenery
directory:

3. Start MS Flight Simulator
Go to this menu: WORLD\SCENERY LIBRARY\ADD AREA
