Kevin. You don't need a utility. Simply install them as usual. You will probably need to realias the panel and/or sound CFG for them to show up. The aircraft will be listed under Unspecified on the selection menu unless you add the relevant lines to Aircraft.cfg. Some CFS2 aircraft work better than others in FS2002. If you have display problems it's best to dump them.

Read this. http://www.simviation.com/lair/aliasing1.htm
The sound (& sometimes the panel) of most CFS2 prop aircraft will be aliased to one of the defaults like this.

[fltsim]
alias=F6F3_HELLCAT\sound

You can change it to the FS2002 default C182 like this in Notepad.

[fltsim]
alias=c182\sound

Alternatively, copy/paste the complete Panel or Sound folder from a similar default aircraft into it.

Basically it tells your computer "Hey, when I'm in the 737, use the 757 sounds instead."

Great edit, Bob.&&&&&&Google it. &&&&www.google.com
