Several things you can do which would help us help you.........a. Provide the complete name of the file (???????.zip) which you downloaded - so one of us can check it out.b. Provide some details regarding your system - such as the Operating System (XP, Vista or Win 7) and info regarding your computer specifications.c. Read the readme.txt file - it "should" have the instructions you need.

Hi again: the main file is viva_flightplans.zipWindows 78gb memory851.7 free space on hard drive

This is the readme fileVersion 1.3Updates=======1.3-Added PMDG 737 FMC flightplans for all 727 and 737 routes-Fixed up Calgary Return route1.2-Created improved flightplan for Victoria to Edmonton-Removed old Comox to Yellowknife and Inuvik direct routes and replaced with new 3 hop route Comox Edmonton Yellowknife Inuvik.1.1-Removed the incorrect CYYJ-PANC flightplans and put in the proper CYQQ-PANC flightplans.NOTE - IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE FLIGHTPLANS IN ANOTHER FORMAT FOR OTHER PROGRAMS OR AIRCRAFT JUST LET ME KNOW!Here are the flightplans for all the new IFR capable routes.The Flight Simulator flightplans are in FS2000 format, so they will work fine with FS 2000/2002/2004. Place these where you keep your FS plans (My Documents/Flight Simulator Files for FS2004).Place the Squawkbox plans in the Squawkbox main folder (to load them in squawkbox select load FMS flightplan in the menu).Place the FSNavigator Flightplans in the Flight Simulator Directory/Modules/FSNavigator/Plan folder.Place the PMDG 737 flightplans in the FS9/PMDG/FLIGHTPLANS folder.The altitudes chosen are correct for the direction of flight for each route, but depending on winds you may wish to change them. (Not sure if you can for FS2000 or 2002, but you can ask ATC for a different altitude in 2004).Enjoy the flights!Flightplans created by David Voogd for Vancouver Island Virtual Airlines with FSBuild2. These flightplans are for use only for members of Vancouver Island Virtual Airlines and may not be distributed anywhere but on the www.vanisleva.com website.In fs2004 files I don't see a squawbox,fs navigation, or pmdg 737 files. So I don't know where to put these files. I assume that the flight simulator file goes in the Flights folder.

quoting from the readme:Place these where you keep your FS plans (My Documents/Flight Simulator Files for FS2004).end quoteThe author also provided the same flight plans in other formats - for use with utilities (FSNav and Squawkbox) and an aircraft (PMDG 737 NG) which are addons for FS2004 and which you do not have installed) - so those items can just be ignored.The vaious PLN files are the ones which you would select from the Flight Planner option on the main Create a Flight screen in FS2004.Hope that helps.

Hi David: Thanks for the info. It worked fine. Did not know where the flightplan files were kept for the simulator, and the other files which you said I could ignore were confusing me. All is fine now and all the flightplans are installed and usable.I am going to download and install some aircraft. If I run into trouble I will make another post.Ralph
