November 9, 200619 yr Hi folks!I'm also a new user to Flightgear. I have successfully installed it and have also downloaded and installed some additional scenery for the east coast. My question is the airport overlay files. I have downloaded a few for the same quadrants that I have scenery for, but I have *NO* clue where or what I should be unzipping things to. If I have quadrant w080n40 for scenery and I have the w080n40.tar.gz airport overlay, where should I be unzipping those little VT##.gz files to? Into my datasceneryw080n40 path?I'm lost. :( Any help would be much appreciated!
