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.

From your Flight Simulator CD, copy the files in the SCENERY SETUPEUROPE1 folder to the FLTSIMSCENERYEUROPE1SCENERY folder.

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. ============================================================
