basic download help needed

[simontoffell]

I am trying to download a NW Airlines 747_800. I have done the following according to the install file:
1. downloaded the zip file into a temp folder
2. Unzipped the file
3.Copied and pasted the texture file into the 747_800 texture file as directed.
4. Copied and pasted the config info into the aircraft config file after the other info in there, numbering the plane #1 as the one before was 0.
So why is the plane not appearing in the game?

Is this a complete download? Aircraft and all? Or just a Northwest texture? If it's a full a/c, there should be a folder inside the zip package called "aircraft". Copy or move this folder into c:>program files>microsoft games> FS9> aircraft folder.

If I am understanding you right, you are placing the new texture folder into an existing texture folder?
If so that would be a problem.

The unzipped texture file needs to be placed in the aircraft folder - not in the texture file that is already there. And since there is no 747-800 in FX, I am assuming you had already downloaded and placed a B747-800 aircraft folder in the airplane folder .


Hopefully this was helpful and I understood the problem
