This following is a list of icons and font faces you'll encounter that have special meaning. They will help guide you through the instructions and notes included in the manual.

   Buttons and Menu Commands

      Buttons and menu commands will be illustrated in Bold, in the color blue, as in the following example:

         Tools:Export Panel...

      Individual menu picks will be separated by a colon (:).

   File Path names

      File path names will be italicized and bold as in the following example:

         C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator

   Abbreviations

      FS Sound Studio is abbreviated as "FSSS"
      Flight Simulator is abbreviated as "FS"
      Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 is abbreviated as "FS2000"
      Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 is abbreviated as "FS2002"
      Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 is abbreviated as "FS2004"
      Microsoft Flight Simulator FSX is abbreviated as "FSX"
      Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 is abbreviated as "CFS3"

Most steps and examples in the manual assume you are using FS2004. The actions are, for the most part, identical if your simulator is CFS2 or CFS3. Where this is not the case, it will be noted.
