To import an aircraft and aircraft gauges from Flight Simulator 2000 into Flight
Simulator 2002, follow these steps.

NOTE: Flight Simulator 2000 and Flight Simulator 2002 contain gauge files that

gauge files with earlier versions of the gauge files.

2. Locate and then open the Aircraft folder of the Flight Simulator 2000
  installation. By default, the Aircraft folder is in the following location:

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2000\Aircraft

3. Drag the aircraft files that you want to import to the Aircraft folder of the
  Flight Simulator 2002 installation. By default, the Aircraft folder is in the
  following location:

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2002\Aircraft

4. Locate and then open the Gauges folder of the Flight Simulator 2000
  installation. By default, the Gauges folder is in the following location:

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2000\Gauges

5. Drag the gauge files that you want to import to the Gauges folder of the
  Flight Simulator 2002 installation. (For example, for the Concorde, drag the
  Concorde.GAU file.) By default, the Gauges folder is in the following
  location:

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\FS2002\Gauges
