Aircraft Help

I cannot get my add-on aircraft to load in FS2004. After downloading, I am unzipping the file, they copying to the aircraft folder under the FS9 program files. Am I doing this correctly? I really have my hopes up about some add-on military aircraft.

Make sure they are for fs9 and this link may be of some help

Make sure you are copying the arcft. files into the arcft. folder of the sim. You may also have to copy the guages files in the sim's guages folder. Panel into panel etc.

You and me both Kyle. If you get an answer to this problem, please send it to me at donjreid@comcast.net.

Try a simple aircraft from http://www.pmstone.com


Follow these steps:

You need WinZip to unzip the folders.
You can get the trial one at http://www.winzip.com it's the best you can use and the trial will last for years.

I think I know what you are asking but I try answering two ways.
One, If you cannot find your downloads to "unzip" them, send them to "My Computer", "My Briefcase" or even to "Desktop".
You can enter them from any of those areas.
I download to a folder that I have in "My Briefcase" it's just handy for me that way.
Installing.
Ok,
I do it a more complicated way, but it works.
Make certain you have a full aircraft not just textures.

Unzip the file and now it's in it's own little window, you work from there. Dump the jpgs.

dblc=double-click


dblc on "My Computer"
dblc on The "C" drive icon.
dblc on "Program files"
dblc on "Microsoft Games".
dblc on "Flight Simulator.

Now you have all the folders laid out in front of you.
Follow the directions in the read-me that came with the aircraft.
Put the gauges in the gauge folder.
Put the effects in the effects folder.
Put the aircraft in the aircraft folder; make certain it has the correct name of the plane.

Now go crash land like I do.


Let us know how you do.
