after ive downloaded this which fs2002 file do i put it in. i feel dumb asking this.

Just dump all the texture files into the main FS2002 Texture folder and click YES for overright

I dont know what version you may have downloaded but might i recamend V3   I found it to be the best for 2002

I hope you did not down load or unzip straight into FS2002.
  If you did you may now have more than one texture folder in FS2002 if that is the case open up one of the texture folders and drag the contents over to the other one than delete the empty folder. I am not sure what other folders you might have duplicated you will have to look at the orignal zip file.
  never never unzip any files straight into FS

Just downloaded it again to see what might be the problem.  You need to unzip the main AEUPGRADE3 zip folder probably just to your desktop since you wont need that for long.  Inside that there is another TEXTURE zip folder.  That is the one you want to unzip into your main FS2002 texture folder.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2002\TEXTURE

Just click yes on all overwrite messages.

You should end up with new lighting on everything and new taxiway, runway, apron, and some changes to terminal textures






Hope that helped...
