How to Install Aircraft in FS2004

Many of us have downloaded aircrafts from popular websites like avsim.com or flightsim.com. If you are new to FS world, installing these aircraft can be quite a task. For those who do have a problem like this.. head over to flyawaysimulation's forum post where 'tomthetank' has written a nice article about this.

FRF Studio Releases Kolkata and DelhiV2.1

Frame Rate Friendly(FRF) Studio's have released Kolkata a new scenery for FS2004.

According to FRF

"This is a complete remake of the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata, India.

The entire terminal area has been rebuilt to look much more realistic. The feel of the airport has been captured pretty well. There is lots of eye candy, and frame rates are good. The afcad file has been created from sat photos and actual charts for VECC. The Scenery was built using Abacus' EZ Scenery program and AFX."

Also released in Delhi V2.1

"This is a complete remake of the Indira Gandhi Int'l Airport in Delhi, India. All terminal and cargo buildings have been r

eplaced and repositioned to be more accurate. Actual gate information is unavailable online, so gate numbers are entirely made up. The parking is very realistic in that domestic airlines are seperated from international airlines at opposite sides of

the airport. The included AFCAD file was designed using satellite photos and various other images obtained from the internet. The Scenery was built using Abacus' EZ Scenery program.

Update: Version 2 reflects some recent changes around Gandhi Int'l. The brand new runway 11/29 has been added along with the new Domestic Terminal 1D. A brand new, sat-real AFCAD file has been created for the update. All parking and taxiway signs are now 100% correct with special thanks to Anuj Arora and Deepak Blassi, our special research contacts. Update 2.1: This version corrects some AI issues. You can download the complete scenery or just the updated files if you already have v2 installed."

Introduction

Microsoft's Flight Simulator is, according to me, one of the best simulation games around for a aviation enthusiast like me. MSFS, as it is popularly known, is also a best seller around to world.

Unfortunately, this popularity has not been emulated here in India. There are hardly any sites that are dedicated to this game here in India and those sites which are, become dead pretty soon. Case in example is simflight india forums. Anyways I have decided to launch a blog, wherein I will collect, as much as I can, aircrafts, sceneries and other Flight Simulator related stuff as I can. I will try and give as much time as possible to keep updating this blog as much as I can.

Feel free to comment.
