London Gatwick, as I use it a lot in real life.

I used to have a very good (payware) Gatwick extension pack for FS2000 - would this work in 2002?

Flying out of NZQN is great in a C172- try and get over the mountains on a straight out departure, active runway, scenery cranked up. auto fuelmix off. Winter time, and turbulance.

Nope..it wont work for 2002, both fs2000 and 2002 are both completely different (in terms of the engine of the sim) if you know what i mean Tongue

Hi Craig.... Grin

...!
The add-on "airports" for the U.K. are probably very nice, but have you noticed how flat the rest of our country is....?
Flat, as in smooth.
No ups and downs.
No hills and valleys.
Just as flat as the eye can see.. Cry

...!
Both you and I know that England is not as flat as that.
Which is the reason why I fly in sunny California.. 8)...!
Lots of ups and downs, mountains and valleys, lakes. seas, etc, etc,... Grin

...!

Backwards compatible in terms of aircraft, and im highly sure that scenery isnt compatible with other flight sims unless its specifically designed to be..

Like many others I use my local field (in my case EGKA Shoreham) as my default airport. It's surprisingly accurate considering the sheer number of airports in FS2002. My ambition is to modify the airport, coastline & surrounding terrain to look more as I fondly remember it in the 1960s. I've already made a start with the excellent freeware scenery design programs & utilities available. Thanks to TTools & AFCAD I can have suitable vintage aircraft puttering around as AI traffic instead of the default modern types. When I can't find a specific type I create my own AI drones with FSDS2. It's the open architecture structure of the M$ sims which makes this such a fascinating hobby for me. Wink

PS. M$ should ignore this at their peril. If FS2004 goes the way of CFS3 by not supporting the traditional FS design utilities I, for one, will be sticking with FS2002.

Hagar! I didn't realise that you are a neighbour of mine - Shoreham EGKA is also my local airport!! Taking a leaf out of Tipster's book, I initiated a round-the-world flight a couple of weeks ago, and it started from - guess where - EGKA!!

Hi neighbour. Wink

I'm actually at Goring-by-Sea, near Worthing. Maybe I'll see you at the RAFA display.

Almost all scenery will work in FS2002 from previous versions.

I have plenty of FS2000 scenery running and in one instance, a scenery from FS98.

The only time you're likely to run into a problem is if the scenery contains a flatten and exclude command and the default secenery elevations in FS2002 are modelled differently from the version the scenery was intended for.

Obviously, unless someone has made a specific AFCAD file for the FS2000 incarnation of the add-on scenery, your A.I. traffic probably won't follow the new visual scenery.

The only other proviso I can think of is if the scenery uses an autoinstaller. You'd need to extract it to a specially constructed temp folder (a bog standard one won't necessarily do in this case). Microlight - if it is an auto-installer, let me know and I'll talk you through what you need to set up to avoid problems.
