Been there done that already. It told me to copy the file and the read me file into the flight plan file down under my documents. And I did that. It also told me to have the cold and dark as default and I did that as well. But I can not see why I can not start cold and dark when I load a flight. So that is where I am at the moment.

It has been a while since I have done it.

I have the following questions for installing the program. I opened up the zip file to read it. Now do I simply just copy the FLTSIM.FLT into the file where all of my flights are stored down in my documents and that is all? Ow what else do I need to do so that all of my flights start cold and dark? If I remember correctly, I have to make the flight my default flight as well. Is this correct? Please advise. Thanks.
