June 5, 200916 yr I just purchased the boeng pack from overland but I cant figure out how to install it. Where should my directory be, the main fs9 folder or the fs9/aircraft folder? Ive sent it to both those areas and all I found was a foler called wboeing.The information inside contained many things with one bieng a cabinet folder with all the aircraft information inside but that led me no where. Please help and Thanks in advance.
June 5, 200916 yr Install in the main FS9 folder.It shouldn't be that complicated, it will place the aircraft in the FS9/Aircraft folder, and after install it shows up on your Aircraft menu.RegardsErnie.
June 6, 200916 yr Yeah, all you have to do (like with the large majority of payware aircraft) is set the path to the main FS9 folder, and the install program will install everything to the right place.

June 6, 200916 yr No luck as of yet. I've installed it to the main path of fs9 and all I get is a new folder with no new planes installed.
June 6, 200916 yr I don't have any Overland products but would offer the following suggestions:1. Look for any uninstall routines - possibly in the Start/Programs area and/or in the Start/Settings/Control Panel/Add Remove programs section.The idea is to remove anything you have already done with the Overland package.2. Create a New, temporary folder on your desktop and direct the installer to install the package there. You may have to name that temporary folder Flight Simulator 9 in oder for that to work.In essence you are creating a "dummy" FS2004 folder and the Overland package should install everything in it.That way you can see exactly what has been placed and where and possibly find some documentation regarding the installation.With only a very few exceptions I never allow an auto-installer to install anything - I always have it install to a temporary or dummy folder so I can see exactly what it does - then I manually move sections as required into my FS2004 setup.Another thought - if your Overland package came on a CD, explore the CD and look for installation instructions. I cannot imagine that any package like this does not have instructions somewhere.Hope these ideas are helpful. :(

June 6, 200916 yr It would be good to know "how" you got your problem solved so others might benifit from your experience.Yeah, Opa's right, what happened. I think that a bunch of the overland stuff installs itself to the default FS9 location which is...C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\...and doesn't read the registry key...HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\9.0\EXE PathIt makes it tough if you ever have to do an update :)Mark
