can't get download to flight sim

😕 Err what are we trying to do? Aircraft or scenery ❓ And what is happening ❓

Are you trying to install an aircraft?

You need WinZip to unzip the folders.
You can get the trial one at WinZip 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.

this is what i do: i just unzip the files to C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Flight Simulator 9/Aircraft. if that doesnt work i just copy the files to the flight sim. 9 aircraft folder.

THANK YOU RADARMAN IT WORKED 😀

(or if you are working with scenery, i just unzip to C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Flight Simulator 9/Scenery, and i copy the folder to flight sim. 9 scenery folder

Radarman, can i use your method of putting the plane onto FS ❓

Yes, I found that it's the simplest way, good luck!

Radarman, do you have any advice for making Flight Simulator more fun and enjoyable?

thanks, robbier

also: you can also go to www.ARNZ.cjb.net for more downloads.

the aircraft at ARNZ.cjb.net have a self installer! so after you download the file, you just open the file, unzip it, and run the setup included with the file, and the plane automatically goes to FS. so you can start flyin' right away!

(that was all i could do until i learned how to put the planes in FS without the self installer)
