OK, firstly it's a flight simulator not a game. Chastise over!
Right, lets get to your problem!
Unzip your aircraft to a temporary folder.
There you should find a folder with your aircrafts name.
You will now (normally) find an aircraft file,a gauges file and an effects file.
Move the aircraft file ( in this there should be model, textures,air file, cfg file and a panel file) to the Flight simulator 9 main aircraft folder.
Copy the gauges in the gauges file to the main FS9 gauges folder, it may ask if you want to overwrite some gauges, ONLY OVERWRITE IF THE GAUGE YOU ARE INSTALLING IS NEWER THAN THE ONE IT ASKS YOU ABOUT!
Copy the contents of the effects file to the main FS9 effects folder doing the same as with the gauges.
Hope this helps, any probs don't be afraid to ask we'll help all we can!
The route for installing is
My computer
Programme files
Microsoft Games
Flight Simulator 9
Then Aircraft file into Aicraft folder
Copy gauges into gauges
Copy effects into effects
Also if there is a sound file do the same with that. 😀
