This section describes how to use add-on scenery that was

Flight Simulator for Windows 95.
Before proceeding, read all the instructions carefully.
BAO EUROPE 1 ADD-ON SCENERY PRODUCT
To use the BAO Europe 1 Add-On scenery, you must copy
files from your BAO disks into a folder in the directory
where you installed Flight Simulator for Windows 95. Then
you must run two EXE files and use the scenery library in
Flight Simulator to finish installing the BAO Europe
scenery.
To Copy the Files

Simulator. The default is CPROGRAM FILESMICROSOFT
GAMESFLIGHT SIMULATOR. In the steps below, this folder
is referred to as FLTSIM.
2. Copy the file DISK1A.EXE from disk #1 to the FLTSIM
folder.
3. Create a EUROPE1 folder under your FLTSIMSCENERY
folder and name it FLTSIMSCENERYEUROPE1.
4. Copy the file DISK1.EXE from disk #1 and DISK2.EXE from
disk #2 to the EUROPE1 folder.
5. Create two new folders under the EUROPE1 folder with the

SCENERY SETUPEUROPE1 folder to the
FLTSIMSCENERYEUROPE1SCENERY folder.

prompt.

library in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

button.

Setting up Microsoft Scenery Packs
This section describes how to use Microsoft scenery add-on
products for Microsoft Flight Simulator 5.0 or 5.1 with
Microsoft Flight Simulator for Windows 95.
First, note that if you own Microsoft New York, Paris, or
the BAO Las Vegas or Washington DC add-on scenery packs,
you don't need to install those scenery add-ons. Those
products are now included in Flight Simulator for Windows
95, and they're installed when you run setup.
If you own Microsoft Caribbean, Japan, Hawaii, or Scenery
Pack I, you must use a new setup program, included on the
Flight Simulator for Windows 95 CD, to set up those
products.
To Start the New Scenery Setup
1. Insert the Microsoft Flight Simulator for Windows 95 CD
in your CD-ROM drive.
2. Click the Start menu on the Windows 95 taskbar and select
Run.
3. When the Run window appears, enter
dscnsetupsetup.exe
(If your CD-ROM drive uses a letter other than d, replace
d with the appropriate letter.)
and click OK.
To continue installing the scenery, follow the on-screen
instructions. Scenery Setup asks which Scenery add-on you
are installing and for your original disks. Make sure you
select ALL of the Scenery add-ons which you want to install.
Note that certain areas of new scenery included with Flight
Simulator for Windows 95 are disabled to make way for these
add-ons. You can reactivate these areas by using the scenery
library in Flight Simulator. If you installed Hawaii, you
should reactivate the North America scenery area.
For more information about the scenery library, see the
section Configuring and Using Scenery with the Scenery
Library in this document. You'll also find detailed
information about the scenery library in the topics under
Working With Scenery in the Using Flight
Simulator Section of Pilot's Help.
If you decide to install additional Microsoft add-on scenery
products (Caribbean, Hawaii, Japan, or Scenery Pack 1), first
re-run Scenery Setup and uninstall any existing add-ons from
that list. Then run Scenery Setup again and select ALL
of the products you want install.
