    Answers to your Frequently Asked Questions

    Question: I've moved from Flight Simulator 2000 to Flight Simulator 2002. Can I use the Corporate Pilot aircraft with FS2002?

    Answer: Yes. We have released an update to Corporate Pilot for FS2002. This update includes the following:

    • Updates to the visual models for Windows XP and Windows 2000 compatibility
    • Changes to the flight model to correct wheels and floats
    • Remove the "flashing gauge". We are unable to update the Flight Management Computer for FS2002 and have removed it from the panels. The affected panels have been revised.
    • Updates to aircraft selection windows - manufacturer is "Abacus Corporate Pilot"

    Download the Corporate Pilot FS2002 update: AbacusCP_FS2002.exe (3MB) and carefully follow these two steps:

    * Install the CD-ROM into FS2002 (using your original Corporate Pilot CD-ROM).
    * Install the AbacusCP_FS2000.exe update for FS2002 (from above).

    Step 1. Installing the Corporate Pilot CD-ROM (FS2000 version) into FS2002

    Follow these steps to install the FS2000 version of Corporate Pilot into FS2002. When this is complete, install the Corporate Pilot Update.

    a. Insert the Corporate Pilot CD-ROM and start the installation for Corporate Pilot
     
    b. Continue to click Next> until you get to the Choose Destination Location screen.
     

    When you reach the screen Choose Destination Location, click the Browse... button. Now double-click the path to your FS2002's MAIN folder. This typically done by double-clicking the following folders:

    C:
    Program Files
    Microsoft Games
    FS2002

    Once the path is set to the main FS2002 folder, click OK.

    c. Proceed through the installation by clicking Next on each screen.

    d. On the last screen, click Finish.

    DO NOT view the "ReadMe File" (it contains obsolete information).

    Step 2. Now that the FS2000 version of Corporate Pilot is installed to FS2002, you'll also have to run the Corporate Pilot Update for FS2002.

    This update automatically looks for FS2002 in the Windows Registry. If the destination shown does not point to your main FS2002 folder, you can adjust the path as described above.

    Once the installation is complete, open FS2002 and take to the skies!

    All aircraft will appear in the FS2002's Select Aircraft menu with a manufacturer name: Abacus Corporate Pilot.


    Question: (Applies to FS200 only) - The wheels of some of my aircraft are "buried". How can I fix this?

    Question: (Applies to FS200 only) - While taxiing the Citation X, I am having a problem steering. How can I fix this?

    Answer: Please see the Update below.


    Question: (Applies to FS200 only) - Some of the instruments are hard to read. Can I improve the resolution?

    Question: I'm using Corporate Pilot with FS2002. When I start FS2002, the message "There is a 3rd party Dll file... MDLFIX_WIN2k.DLL.... It may not be compatible" appears. How can I get rid of this message?

    Answer: The best solution is to search for the file (MDLFIX_WIN2K.DLL) with the Start | Find or Start | Search option. Once you find the file, you can simply delete it.

    Another method (recommend for advanced users only) is to open the FS2002.CFG file and add the following statements to it:

    [OldModules]
    mdlfix_win2k.dll=1
