Abacus A380

[hhomebrewer]

I have the v1 of this airplane. Had it quite a while. It looks better in FS2004 than v2 does in FSX, so I go back to what looks good. I just re-installed it onto my new hard drive. It installs itself into what seems to be a folder of its own choosing-- something like My Company Name/Default or something totally unlike C:/FS2004/A380/blah-blah-blah. When I first installed it, the airplane did not show up in the availables. I went to the specific folders of the airplane and slid them into the specific folders in FS that applied to each of them. I see it now in the availables, but I have one left: The Nav Data folder. I have no idea what to do with it. Any ideas?

if you look inside the NAV DATA folder, what do you find?

Things that make no sense to me. I saw a bunch of .dat files. I have no idea what they do. I think they may have something to do with the FMC but using that is beyond my skills, anyway. I would just take it all off and retry by putting it into a folder with a path like the other planes, but I slid the gauges and effects in as separate items into their respective folders. There are dozens upon dozens of gauges and about a dozen effects, so I have no way to tell which ones to take out...

Hi hhomebrewer,

I have the a380 installed at home, failrly sure it installs in the fs2004/aircraft folder but I'll check and let you know on monday 28th about the navdata folder if i find one. I dont have internet at the moment at home, just at work.

Hi hhomebrewer,

Checked my abacus a380, the navdata folder should not be in the a380 folder, it belongs in (yourdrive letter):\program files\microsoft games\flight simulator 9.
That folder with the dat files contains the ndb's vor's ils's , their frequency etc and where they are in the world and the airports and their runways and headings etc.

Hope this helps, I know I said Monday but was busy and ended up forgetting to login.

fly safe.
