Users of A340 Professional who have a non-English version of Flight Simulator 2004 will have been experiencing problems when trying to access saved FS flightplans in the aircraft's flight management computer. This is because of the way FS2004 stores the saved data which differs with different language versions of Flight Simulator 2004.

The problem is not related to the system language on your computer but to the language version of Flight Simulator 2004 you have installed. This update will change the way A340 Professional works so that it should be able to correctly locate and load saved Flight Simulator flightplans in the FMC for all language versions of flight simulator 2004.

If you have the English language version of Flight Simulator 2004 then this update is not needed. However it can still be safely installed with the English language version. This update requires you to have the original product CD in your CD drive during the installation. Important This update is only for Flight Simulator 2004. If you have A340 Professional installed in Flight Simulator 2002 then you do not need this update.
