I installed MS Flight Simulator 2002 on my iMac using Parallels Desk Top for Mac 6. I downloaded an add-on application for another type of plane (from Just Flight) but it will not install. It gives a message stating that it cannot locate the program Flight Simulator, even though I browsed to it. Any ideas?

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "wrong version" -- there IS ONLY one version for FSX and Windows....

I'm assuming that Parallels was correctly configured, the FS 2002 runs perfectly fine on it and you are launching the installer for the add-on from the virtual hard disk, not the real Mac disk.
In that case only 2 things can cause that: either the file you downloaded is corrupted (the download process failed) and you will have to contact them at [email protected] for a fresh download or - much more likely - you got the wrong version of the file. In that case you will need to contact [email protected] to see what went wrong with your order.

    FSX is the 2006 version of FS - a totally different product from the 2002 version. So if you have the 2002 version installed then the addon designed for the FSX that you bought is the wrong one, it will not install in it - you will need the 2002 version of it

I have 64 bit system. is ms flight simulator 2002 compatible with that?

MS Flight Simulator 2002 should be compatible with your 64 bit operating system.
It should, SHOULD, normally install.
If you have troubles running the program, I suggest right clicking on the shortcut and run it in XP SP2 compatibility mode. But, you shouldn't have to do that.

I can not get ILS landing to work on any planes it did work a few times before I installed the 2 service packs they fixed the sound on some planes but not the ILS landing

Are you running the Flight Simulator X, or the gold edition? The key difference here is that the Gold Edition has the Acceleration Expansion pack, and therefore recommends that you do not install the SP1-SP2, as the software outdates both the service packs. If so, uninstall the service packs and that should fix your problem!

FSX Icon does not show on the desk top

Go to the FSX directory, find FSX.exe, right-click it with the mouse, and whilst holding the right button down, drag to your desktop and release the button. Choose "create shortcut here" from the fly-out menu. This will sort it. Good luck

Parallel Desktop on Mac OS X

Ahh - Parallels is working but can't locate the disk image for XP (assuming) that was created by Apple's BootCamp.

Locate the image "disk0.hdd". Once found, copy it to your "Documents/Parallels/My Boot Camp/ " folder (you're logged in on the Mac as jeremybrunelle right ?)

Os x on windows question

Hi there
The answer to your question is yes and no.

You cannot run OS X on a PC but you can run a windows OS on the new intel macs.

With the new macs you can run it either from boot up in a windows environment (Boot Camp. I would recommend XP not Vista) or you can install an application call 'Parallels' where you can run both systems side by side.

I have both on my portable. There are some windows app's that work better from 'Boot Camp' the only problem with that is you have to shut the mac down and boot to which system you want to use. Where as with Parallels you can drag files and folders from the mac desk top onto the windows. And the switch is really cool.

But you will need to buy a mac. You love it.
