Downloaded a New York City file that has WTC in it. How do I put it into FS2004? Be gentle; I'm a newbie...

My system: AMD Phenom 9500 cpu, 2 x eVGA e-GeForce 8800GTS Superclocked vidcards (640Mb DDR3 each), Zalman "sunflower" 9700 fan, Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 mobo, 4Gb G.Skill PC2-6400 DDR2 800Mhz RAM, 2 x Sony 20X DVD writers, Thermaltake Toughpower 850W modular p/s, 7 x 120mm fans, Windows XP Home and SP3, 2 x 250Gb Western Digital SATA-300 HDs (1 for apps, 1 for storage and precious files backup), CoolerMaster CM 690 case, NOD-32. Won't run FSX. Locks up a lot with FS9, too.

Can you provide a bit more information please - is there no installation instruction? generally these downloads describe what needs doing since there are so many different ways. Perhaps easiest is to tell us what file it is. Then we can take a look and offer the advice

The file New York City Text.txt explains what you need to do.

Copy the contents of the scenery folder in New York City to the Addon Scenery\scenery folder of your FS9 installation and the texture folder to the Addon Scenery\texture folder

You also need to read the file AbacusEZLibraries.txt which explains how to install the object libraries

Sounds like it borders on almost too simple. That means I will screw it up and have more trouble with it than my parents did in raising me...

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
