Hey,
I use a french version of FS2002. I cannot understand a word the air traffic control people are saying. I bought this game in france, but the person who sold it to me said I could change the language to english in the control panel. I hate that idiot. So I need to know if anyone knows any patch or mod that will change atleast all the text to english?

If there isn't then can someone please give a solution to this problem? Obviously I cannot go back to france and kill that person. Anyway please help, thanks.

I am sorry if i offended anyone.  Embarrassed

There is a file in Enlish versions of FS called USEnglishBig.gvp or USEnglishSmall.gvp in "FS main directory\Sound" containing the ATC message.  I don't know if this is legal, but if it is, you might get hold of that file by somebody emailing it to you or something, and then try to put that file in the "\Sound" directory instead of "FrenchBig.gvp" Grin or whatever your ATC file is named.

Or maybe you already have "USEnglishBig.gvp" or "USEnglishSmall" on your installation CD:s.

Good luck anyway.

First of all I need all the text transformed to english. Can someone please kindly send all the english text files to admin@mktutorials.com please? The after that I'll look about getting the audio and video files.

Someone please send me the english text files, and if you would kindly give me the instructions on which files to replace them with. And also I am sure that this is definatly not illegal.  Smiley

If you bought the disc legally in France I would be suprised if Microsoft refused to help you, people knock them regularly, but I have found them to be very helpful. papa-metro usaf 1953-57

Keep it. After a while you'll get a feel for what they're saying. Then you can discuss ATC messages with french people. Grin

Insert CD #1 in your drive, it should auto run. If not, use Explorer to run setup.exe from the CD.

Look near the top of the setup screen. Voila!

Cheers,
