Default FMS trainer models

Garye, at least you downloaded the file. You need only do two more things:

1) unzip the files - gptrh.zip is a “zip” file – a compressed file (typically called an archive file) that contains several files (seven in this case) in one nice tidy little file.

2) put the files in the proper folder on your hard drive – in this case c:\program files\fms\model – this folder is where the FMS program expects to find the model files.

These steps are not difficult. You can unzip the files using a program such as winzip or winrar. You can unzip the files into a temporary directory and move them to the model folder or you can actually unzip them directly into the proper folder – winzip and winrar are pretty self explanatory. You can download an evaluation copy of these programs from cnet.com.

Each FMS model is made up of several files:

a .wav file for the engine noise
a .x file -
a preview file (so you can see a preview image when selecting the plane from the menu)
a .par file

The PAR Designer program helps you edit the .par file so you can tweak the model parameters. That’s about it.

Good luck,
Moses
