Aircraft & Engines Menu
The
Engines dialog box Help topic incorrectly states that you can go to the
Aircraft & Engines menu to start your engines.

menu does not exist in Flight Simulator 2002.
Crashes and Damage
The Changing Realism Settings Help topic incorrectly states that
you can select "Off-Runway crash realism", "Can collide with dynamic scenery"
and "Manual lights control" options.
These options do not exist in
Flight Simulator 2002.
Flight Analysis Dialog Box
In the Flight Analysis feature, a Help topic incorrectly states
the following:
Using the Flight Analysis feature, you can get immediate feedback on your
maneuvers, landings, or unsuccessful flights. Use the Flight Analysis dialog box to specify the type of analysis, and the options and
settings that you want.
Flight Simulator 2002 does not provide
the
Flight Analysis dialog box. Flight Simulator 2002 instead provides basic
latitude, longitude, altitude, heading, and airspeed indicators, a view similar
to mapview, and an altitude graph of your flight.
Modem Use
The Multiplayer/Joining games topic in Help contains an incorrect
section on joining a session over a modem connection.

connection. As an alternative, play multiplayer sessions on the Internet
through the MSN Gaming Zone. To do this, follow these steps.

steps may be different on your computer. If they are, please consult your
product documentation to complete these steps.
- Start your Web browser, and then visit the following MSN
Web site:
- Insert your Flight Simulator 2002 CD-ROM.
- Click Flight Simulator 2002.
- Follow the onscreen instructions to join a game.
