I have seen many scenery downloads on various sites--Seattle, New Orleans ect. and have wondered just how one utilizes them. Must I use the Fly Editor or what. I would appreciate any help on the procedures employed to get the scenery to work. Perhaps any of you might know of a site where I can get detailed direction on how to get a scenery zip file to work in Fly!.

It depends on what type of files you're downloading. If a file is described as a "data pack", it's a collection of land-use/elevation/roads/rivers USGS data files for that area. You'll have to run those files thru TerraScene to generate the scenery, then import the scenery into FLY! using the Editor. If a file is described as a "scenery file", then all you have to do is unzip it, then place it into the FLY\Scenery directory.
