Running Windows 7 Pro; FSX + Acceleration. FSX and other Windows apps I have installed run perfectly.I purchased the "package deal" and it is unclear to me how to install these planes. It appears from the brief instructions, I need to have FS 2002 or FS 2004 installed first. I suspect I may have just made a $107 donation to MAAM, with the benefit of not flying the aircraft. Or, I may be too "slow" and old to figure out the installation....after all, I'm 67 and taking prednisone. :( Separately, i cannot read the ~$AD_1ST.doc (readme first) for the R4D, which i suspect may have installation instructions. I did download the 2 FSX updates for R4D from "free stuff," but without being able to install the CDs, I am at a loss.I have very few applications on this computer as it mostly is occupied with flying FSX. Other computers do my main computing chores.So...........my questions are:

Hi Jim,No worries, I'll help you get through this - and I'm only four years behind you. :-) I've gotten your e-mail address off the order and I'm sending you some shortcuts that will help you out. We old farts have to stick together.

Bill, thanks for your help. I did need both installers. Now trying to find out what the planes will do. Only one plane was installed for the B-25. I'll have to look into that tomorrow.Comment on the discs. The paper, sticky labels are not too good. The labels on both the B-25 and R4D came loose and impeded ejection from the slot-loaded reader. I had to remove the R4D label completely, which did some damage to the reflective surface.I was able to duplicate both CDs with some effort and printed labels direct to disc. I have some 10 year old discs with paper sticky labels and something below the surface eats away the reflective layer and a bunch of 'em don't work any more. I've been using "hub-printable" CDs and DVDs for the past 4-5 years with good success. And, nothing to peel off when trying to eject.Bill, thanks again for your help on Saturday. Above and beyond the call of duty. :( Best regards,-Jim
