	Now, if you have never downloaded a custom mission before, you will need to rename your "Mission" Folder. Rename it as MSNORG (For Mission Original). This way you wont lose your regular missions. Create a new folder, and name it "Mission". This is where you will be placing the files that you have just downloaded. You will need to rename the files as "defect.brf" and "defect.xwi".

	Once you have your files in the right spot, close your folders, and get to flying! '''Please Note:''' When you fly a mission, you have to create a pilot. When you fly a second mission, '''you MUST create a NEW pilot!''' You MAY '''NOT''' use the same pilot name unless you delete the original one first. A good way to keep track of what you have done is to actually name your "pilot" the name of the mission. IE: If the Mission Name is "Sabaac Part 1", name your "pilot" - "Sabaac1". During the ITOD, you can refly the missions as many times as you want, but you still need new pilot files for every refly. Sometimes, you end up with "Sabaac1f" before you get a score that is halfway acceptable. It happens. Don't worry about it! But by naming them this way, if there is ever a problem with our system, you can always go back and grab your pilot file for verification of your score.
