File Description:
How to Make a Profile just for Flight Simulator - an Illustrated Tutorial. Windows XP allows mutiple "boot" profiles in which you can disable hardware and peripheral devices that may not be needed while playing games such as FS2004.

Runway Tire Markings - an EZ Style Library.

File Description:
Runway Tire Markings - an EZ Style Library. At most airports you can see a great deal of "burnt rubber" on the runways where aircraft initially touchdown. This is not very well displayed in the default FS2004. Jaxan Prier of the Mach-1 Design group has graciously granted permission for me to compile his "tiremarks" model and texture into an EZ style object library which can be used by most of the object placing programs including EZ and Instant Scenery. Please unzip this package to a temporary folder and follow the very easy installation instructions. Compiled for your flying enjoyment by David "Opa" Marshall.
