I have recently got FS2002 and I am quite enjoying it.  I am now on the commercial pilot lessons and the instructions refer me to the approach charts available in the back of the pilots handbook for these lessons and the checkride.  I can not find these charts anywhere!  I have looked in the FS2002 directory and the CD to no avail!  Can anyone direct me in the right direction as to finding theses charts?

try looking here:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2002\charts\Flights

and chose the one you need

Already looked there. No dice.  If they are supposed in the handbook on disc, but for some reason I haven't got them, is there anyone who has the handbook with these approach charts that can send them to me.

go to C drive>Program files> Microsoft Games>FS2002> Charts> Lessons and then there should be commercial pilot and the approach charts should be in there.

Already looked there.  The briefing states:-

Before you fly this checkride, study the approach chart for the ILS Rwy 36 approach to Space Coast Regional (Space Center Executive) Airport, and have the chart next to you as you fly. You can find the chart in the back of the Pilot's Handbook. The charts are arranged alphabetically by airport location. Look for "TITUSVILLE, FLA."

This file does not exist!

The only charts I can find are for Washington/Seattle which apply to the first two sets of lessons unless the information given in the briefing is wrong.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think it exists unless it's buried on a cd somewhere and not copied to the HD.  It is, however, in the FS2000 manual.  I'm not sure if this link will work because it's a google redirect but the manual seems to be available somewhere on MS's site.

My original Google search (the second to last item).

Perfect.  I looked at the Explosiv support sight hoping there might be help there and it states that the commercial and ATP briefings refer to the FS2000 pilots handbook.  Your link has fallen in perfectly with this information.  Many Thanks.  It is just a shame the text could not be clearer on the charts provided.

FS 2000 and FS 2002 both came with a fantastic book full of instructions. I have them, and often refer to them... 8-)...!

(FS 2004 did not, unfortunately).

F...G-BPLF...!

Pro Pilot 2, also came with a very useful book......!

The on disc information I got does not include as much as FS2000 does but then again it is the Explosiv release.  Looking to get the 'X' version in the near future.  Does this contain all the information needed :question?  Also does your handbooks contain clear text on your charts or are all the charts the same poor quality as the version I have just downloaded from Microsoft.  I am looking at the chart for JFK and can barely make out the distances for the approach.  :(  I have searched on ebay for a hardcopy of the pilot handbook for FS2000 but the seller wants
