Hi Gang,
I’ve been trying to install the MD-88 and MD-90 aircraft on FS2004 for Windows Vista. The install goes fine and the aircraft is visible in my aircraft folder, yet is not visible in the program itself. The only download problems I have is with the MD-80 download. It “times out” while downloading the “Md88snd.7z” file; and then says it has successfully downloaded. This error does not, however, happen with the MD-90 install...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Johnathan FonzyFirst Officer, MD-88

I use FS2004 and run windows vista 64. Try to reinstall the aircraft again and then open the program and create a flight. Change aircraft and see if its listed under McDonnell-Douglas.

Before you install it, set it (the installer EXE) to ADMINISTRATOR and XP Compatibility mode.

I tried all that and noticed the problem.
The default path for FS2004 to install is "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X"...
I tried re-installing the download and nothing. I tried installing the "error fixer" and nothing.
Anyone else have an idea of how (and what) to change the path (to).
Thanks!

That's what I'm saying. I did that and it didn't do anything...

does your FSX reside in some other location than that?
Mine is on F drive and my FS9 is on my G drive
