Some of it will and some of it won't Eire. I don't think anyone has produced a definitive list, so your best bet is to give it a go. What scenery did you have in mind?

Most FS2000 scenery works in FS2002. I've even used some FS98 (eg Cambridge UK)

However, when the older scenery was designed there were no water and other effects so if there is a lake or similar involved you will find it's just a static texture without the FS2002 'shimmer' effect and you can't change it.

Also, most designers used really shocking green grass textures that look really out of place in FS2002 but that can often be changed.

The other thing is that not all FS2002 scenery is positioned exactly right for FS2002 and some of the old 'exclude' switches don't work properly and often don't remove the default FS2002 scenery.

So Ozzy is right, all you can do is try it out. I've had some really good successes.
