Installing Stansted Scenery for FS2000:
Get latest ver (V2.0) of the scenery from
www.flightsim.com (egssjy3.zip)
Make new folder ie C
Junk
Unzip the file to your junk folder
Find your MSFS2000 Scenery Folder (C
Program FIles\Microsoft Games\FS2000\Scenery)
Make a new folder in here called Stansted, then in that folder make two new folders called scenery and texture
Now look in your junk folder and extract scenery.zip to C
.....\Stansted\scenery folder and extract texture.zip to C
....\Stansted\texture folder
There are three texture files you will need to install into FS2000 if you are going to install much of the freeware scenery out there so nows a good time to install all three and be done with it. You need two for Stansted, one is included in the file the other needs to be got from Flightsim.com, you'll need to register and login first (I assume you are already registered as you've already downloaded the scenery)
The three files and download links are:
aip210tx.zip

One at a time unzip these three files to C
Program FIles\Microsoft Games\FS2000\texture
That's all you need to do with these and they are there for all future scenery upgrades.
Now go to your main FS2000 Folder in Program Files and find scenery.cfg, this tells MSFS which scenery to put in where, (sorry if I'm being patronising, I'm just trying to explain in detail as it makes far more sense if you know why you are adding something and I know when I put in the first scenery addon I didn't have a clue what I was doing!), you need to add the following entry at the bottom of the existing list.(Cut and pate is best to avoid typos)
[Area.***]
Title=Stansted
Local=SCENERY\Stansted\scenery
Active=TRUE
Layer=**
Exclude=N051 54.00,E000 12.00,N051 52.00,E000 17.00,all
Flatten.0=348,N051 54,E000 11,N051 54,E000 17,N051 51,E000 17,N051 51,E000 11
Depending on whether you have other add ons installed the following numbers may be different. Just replace *** in the first line (Area.***) with the number from the last existing entry in scenery.cfg plus one, ie with no addons Tokyo will be at the bottom of the list with a number of 072. Replace *** with 073 in this case. Also change ** in the 'Layer' line with the same number, 73 in this case. This flattens existing MS Scenery and uses the new stuff.
Close scenery.cfg saving changes
Open up FS2000 and go to "World" then "Scenery Library" and check the box to enable "Stansted".
Voila, hope this sorts it out, if not email me:

Another scenery pack worth downloading from Flightsim.com is Gatwick.
