Hello I have been trying to download planes. I follow online tutorials and get the plane downloaded but its all black just a shadow of the plane. Where do I go wrong?

Try lowering all your slides, the sim may look very bad but lets see if the aircraft shows up.
Be sure to lower autogen, clouds, shadows and AI.
Let us know how it looks then.
It may be your video card, diverting the cards "power" from the sim to the aircraft will tell us if we're right.
Let us know how you do.
It sounds as if you have a laptop.
