Hi,
I'm a new pilot and I haven't flown in just over 1 year. I just recently flew 3 flight plans using the md-88 which I was assigned to, which I downloaded from Flight sim. I tried to download the one from this website and it does not work, it does not seem to recognize that I FS2002, then I downloaded the fix in the istaller hoping that this would work and it did not.
Anyone knows what to do, or should I just keep using the plane I currently got from Fligh sim?
Also, I do I take picture of my plane in flight?
Thanks for your help, and I realy enjoy this airline.
Soeak to you later,
Massimo

Hello Massimo - welcome to DVA!
If you need any flying help, send me an email and I can set you up with a mentor. Also, there are 2 newsletters you may want to check out - the Delta Fly! (see the link from the home page) and the Flight Academy newsletter, which is available in the Pilot Center, Document Library.
There are several screenshot programs available - I think Snapper is the most popular - someone will post a link in this thread I am sure - you can google it though... I'll let someone else comment on the airplane installer...

Welcome to DVA Massimo.
Download the aircraft installer off the Pilot Center's Fleet Gallery, save it in your computer, and run the exe installer. Follow the instructions, and go fly! The thing installs itself automatically.

The new MD-88 Fleet Installer is NOT compatible with FS2002. Unfortunately, neither are the 737, DC-9 and a number of other packages. I might be able to dig up an older version somewhere.
Cheers!

Massimo, I still have the 2002 fleet installer for the md88. Check your email. Also, I recommend holding onto these files so you can reinstall later if necessary.

Jason, If you got the aircraft from the DVA fleet installers they should have come with a flight manual of some kind. I'm not very familiar with what comes with the airbus sets but it may have some details on the panel or even a separate document. Check your start menu for a directory related to Delta Virtual or Air France Virtual. You might also have a look in the document library on the pilot center section of the website.
Welcome aboard!
PS, look near the top of the screen in the appropriate directory of the water cooler for your subject and you can find a button to begin your own thread. A new one is more likely to be seen and the subject line can attract the most appropriate people to help.
