Would you care to read the instructions again and follow them explicitly - it would appear that you are the first to have problems with it - I have neither the time or the inclination to query applications - it distracts me from repainting.

If you still haven't found the Spartan from Avsim then this is the direct link:

http://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?Location=AVSIM&Proto=ftp&DLID=80142

Save it to My Documents when the box appears and then install it into FS9 - DaveC will get around to your repaint when he has the time.

Yes, I can see that you read the instructions thoroughly - one of the the conditions is that you must have the a/c installed on your system and you don't meet that condition.

Will you let me know when you have the Spartan installed on your system and then I will do the repaint, otherwise it would be a waste of repainting time which may be fun to you but it is very frustrating for me.
I realise that you are just learning about FS9 and I would like to help more but I am sure that 99JoLegg and others will advise you - I just don't have the time.

Do you have an account over at www.avsim.com ?

If you don't then go to this link:

http://library.avsim.net/login.php?Location=%2Fsendfile.php%3FLocation%3DAVSIM%26Proto%3Dftp%26DLID%3D80142

...and click the first of the three links just above the boxes to type your username and password - named "If you don't have an account, please click here to register". You can then register and follow the instructions it gives you.

If you do have an account at www.avsim.com then go to this link:

http://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?Location=AVSIM&Proto=ftp&DLID=80142

...where a box will appear asking if you want to Open, Save or Cancel. Click Save. Then you will need to choose a place to put the file once it has been downloaded. Click the arrow at the top left hand corner and a box will drop down - choose Desktop and the file will appear on your Desktop.

Extract the file there and copy and paste the Spartan aircarft file into your FS9 aircraft folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft) and copy and paste the gauges files from your downloaded Spartan to your FS9 Gauges folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Gauges) and then open your FS9 sim and see if the Spartan is in your aircraft folder.

Once you have done ALL of that (read it all carefully first, and the conditions written by DaveC in his first post) then come back and you'll have your repaint done.

Answered

First things first, drop the sarcasm.

Secondly, you'd get an accurate response if you explained yourself fully the first time. When you say "it automatically opens it" what do you mean? It already has the files for the Spartan there? In which case, what is the problem if you have the files on front of you?

Do you get this screen...

...when you click on the Spartan link? (Click on it)

I have been busy repainting a/c for other better mannered people but should have come back earlier to inform you that the Spartan at Mike Stones site, although excellent is not compatible with the texture files I make for the Original Avsim Executive Spartan. Mike Stone's file is 377 Kb while the original is 16+Mb. So I repeat - until you meet the condition of downloading the proper a/c then I cannot entertain your application for a repaint - sorry but these are the rules.
I can only apologise and say thank you to 99jolegg for all his trouble.

You are at liberty to start as many political wars as you want - it's a free country - but the Flyaway forums are not the place and is even against the rules.
The flag I paint on the a/c is entirely the choice of the requester and as far as I am concerned has no political association whatsoever - it merely indicates (mostly), the country where the pilot originates. You seem to think that there is a political inference in the flag and this may be one of the reasons why your request for a repaint is declined, apart from the fact that as a repainter I always have the prerogative to decline a request - as I have done in the past and will no doubt, do in the future.

I do not have the knowledge or skill to judge you as a person but your 'forum personna' would appear to be attracted to the controversial which I do not want to get involved in and therefore will not do the repaint.

As a well known US tennis player/champion would say "You can't be serious" - I doubt if I could get all the world's flags on an A380 😂 I don't even mind changing it every time you move house!!
