hello im just new to this website ive downloaded alot of scenery im just wondering cause i havent tried it yet what file under fs2002 do i put the scenery into i also downloaded trucks/ boats etc how do you place them in certain areas for instance how could i place the coast guard boat off the coast of Dublin in Ireland. Also i can fly any plane at all but i just cant seem to get the hang of helicopters any suggestions..thanks alot

Welcome to the site.
As far as scenery goes put any add on scenery into the addon scenery folder within fs2002. I usually make a folder that is descriptive of the scenery it contains. Ex if I had scenery for Orlando I would make a folder called ORLANDO then you will need a scenery & texture subfolder.
Do not down load anything directly into FS2002 make a seperate folder outside of FS2002 to download scenery or aircraft into.
As far as placing things in a specific spot you have to design the scenery for this or download a scenery that has what you want.
The helicopters I do not fly you have to have a joy stick that has a rudder control and it takes a lot of practice.

Hi djdoc. For installing the scenery try my tute here. http://www.simviation.com/lair/fs2002sc.htm

hey thanks for replying i will do that

Helicopters take lots and lots of practice, a good place to learn is http://members.shaw.ca/hoversafe/Hoversafe.htm they have some great tutorials to download, and a number of their members also hang-out here.
Helis add a whole new life to flying

Ps. Expect to crash a lot whilst learning helis I totalled more in my first month learning them than the US Army owns

Very few go upside down, Mark.
