The key to installing G2 is order.
Do NOT run G2 until all steps are complete.
These work for both Windows 2000 and XP.
Do them out of order and you can pooch your install real quick.


XP and 2000 both have the latest DirectX so DON'T install the one that comes with the G2 CD.

First Install G2. Before Rebooting do the online update to the latest version.

Then manually install the TX Interface if necessary.
To install the interface do the following.

For 2000 the instructions are in the Program Files\RealFlight Dir
and they are called ManualTX2000.doc


For XP

Go into the Windows Control Panel
Go into System
Go into Hardware
Click on the Add Hardware Wizard
Click on Next and let it scan just for the fun of it ( no choice)
Click on Yes ( Already Connected)
Click on install manually from a list
Click on show all devices.
Click on Have disk
Copy Manafacturers files from C:\Program Files\RealFlight
Click on next,
Realflight driver should appear.
Click on next
Click on next
Click on View/Change resources
Click on Set Manually
Make sure use automatic resources is selected
Click on OK
Click on Finish

Reboot and you should be good to go.

Milage will vary. but this worked for me now several times.
I wrote these kinda quick but I think it is pretty easy to figure out.


Let me know if this helps,
