Essential Files compatible with FS2002/2004

AFInstaller installs airport facility files (.txt files produced by AFCAD) into FS2002. Creators of airport facilities can configure this utility to auto-install airport files and distribute it with their releases, or users can manually install airport files with it.

To manually install an individual airport, drag the airport file onto the AFInstaller icon. AFInstaller will install the airport and will automatically close a few seconds later. To install several airports at the same time, open the AFInstaller window first then drag the files you want to install onto the window. Files can be selected and dragged in groups. Any number of airports can be installed this way. The window will remain open indefinitely and you can close it when you are done.

FS98/FS2000/FS2002/FS2004 FSUIPC.dll application interfacing module v3.30. FSUIPC is effectively a successor to FS6IPC.dll. Both modules are designed to allow external (i.e. separate) programs to communicate with and perhaps control Microsoft Flight Simulator. Also includes WeatherSet.exe, a basic weather manipulation program using the Advanced Weather interface in FSUIPC. By Pete Dowson.

Complete trees object library, updated and re-issued as a single package. (Not to be confused with the series of Autogen tree replacements for improving the default trees in the FS2002 landscape)., see the separate downloads The package includes the trees library file itself and all required textures, with simple instructions for use with any sceneries, old or new, that state that they need "Gerrish's Trees Library". The textures come in two versions: the original set designed for FS2000/2 and an updated set for use with FS2002 only. Also included is a revised version of the SDK for scenery designers for the creation of sceneries incorporating these high-quality trees. The library provides 20 different styles of tree (including deciduous types, conifers, and a couple of palms), each available in a range of shapes and with various patterns of seasonal behaviour for use in different parts of the world, giving a total of 1600 variations, each of which can be used at any desired size, from a 1-2m high shrub to giant, 100m tall, forest firs. The 24 different API macros in the SDK allow the trees to be placed either as individual specimens or in various realistic groupings. Previous versions have had a total of about 20,000 downloads from the internet, not including downloads as part of third-party sceneries etc. Freeware by Gerrish Gray.
