I recently purchased an aircraft for fs2002 and when I could not get it to run I found out it was for fs2004. Is there any way to get it to run in fs2002 at all?

If they are designed for FS2004 - not for new ones as it works slightly differently.

What are addons?

fs2002

I purchased an aircraft from alphasim called a halifax bomber and I thought it was for 2002 as well as 2004 they said no and they said it wont work for 2002. Is there anyway to get it to work for 2002?.. All I get right now is a set of nav lights visible LOL

Try doing a search on the net or at Flightism.com for a utility called MDLC or MDL Converter.

I think the current version is 0.85.

You can use it to convert different FS sim models to work in other ones.

I haven't tried doing an FS2004 to FS2002 one yet but judging from what I've seen it works!

It appears that many developers both freeware and payware have stopped or ara going to stop producing FS2002 models in favour of FS2004.

Er well the panel can be a bugger to convert from 02 to 04 so if its designed for 04 dont think it will work. Your model is the problem it seems mainly and try the MDL converter but i dont hold much hope yet converting 02 to 04 is doable but some glitches happen as with everything.
