PBY-5A Catalina Installation Steps


1. If you haven't already done so, download either of these files to a temporary folder by clicking on the Download button below :

AbacusPBY5A_FSX.exe

or

AbacusPBY5A_FS2004.exe

2. Run the program that you downloaded: either AbacusPBY5A_FSX.exe or AbacusPBY5A_FS2004.exe to start the InstallShield installation to your hard drive.

3. When asked to select an installation directory, choose your main FSX folder or main FS2004 folder. This is very important, so we'll repeat it again: Choose your main FSX folder or main FS2004 folder, otherwise the aircraft will not install into the correct folder and you will not be able to fly.

4. You're now ready to fly! Run you Flight Simulator
