I have FS2002 Pro. When I scan through the Civil Jet download section, I see some textures that say they replace the default MD-83 in FS2002. Yet there is no default MD-83.

Where is this, or am I interpreting it wrong? Thanks for any insight. Roll Eyes

The MD-83 is a default AI aircraft, meaning it is used by the AI only. You can make it a flyable aircraft, but I forget how. Ozzy? Grin

There are programs to make it so, but I don't know where. Try using the search engines on simv and other sites. A good search would be "flyable AI aircraft".

The simple way is to goto aircraft
editor and make a copy!
and move the 737 panel into the
folder!!
Some hard core Simers don't like
copys but I have had good luck
with them!!!

There is a file called AirEd available somewhere here. Open the directory
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2002\md83\md_83.air
There is a section in there that says aircraft type=2
Change this to zero.
There are 2 other AI planes which ar unlocked in the same way except substitute
md83\md_83.air
for
dh_dash8_100\dh_dash8_100.air for a De Havilland dash 8
or
pa28_180\Piper_pa28_180.air for a Piper Cherokee

I went through all this a couple of months ago. If none of the above works send me an email and I'll send you the files.

Thank you, all! I'll give the MD-83 a try, to see if I can fly it, and let you know the results.
