Author sharing Saved Flights

I have a nice (IMO) saved flight called: Lear-SFO-Fog

It took me quite a few tries to get the clouds, fog and daylight just right.
I'd like to share this flight setup with a friend (in Sweden!). Is there a
way I can copy and e-mail the appropriate file(s) to him. That is, what
file(s) do I search for (file extension, etc.)?

Thanks,

Dave P.

Dave, there are probably two files saved with that flight. A .flt and .wx.
Click Start>my computer. double click on the C drive and find the documents
and settings folder. Double click that folder and you will see your name on
a folder or possibly 'all users'. Double click the folder with the user's
name (your name) > my documents>flight simulator files.
When you get to that folder, right click on the page and chose ARRANGE
Icons by ... and choose 'name' which will put the two files together. Find
the two files, hold down the control key and single click on the two files
you see there to highlight the two files. Place you mouse over the
highlighted files and right click to bring up a menu. Choose SEND TO and you
will see Mail Recepient as one of the choices. Click that option and you
e-mail client address book will probably pop up. If not, you can always
chose COPY and copy the two files to the desk top or some where simple to
find. Then open you e-mail client and choose these two files as the
attachments. You may try to send them to yourself to see what you get. Now
you friend will have to place the files in the proper directory once he/she
receives them, or they will not show up. I also believe the receipient must
have the same aircraft as was used when the flight was saved.

Post the results here. Be interesting to see if it worked for you pilot
friend.
