Here is a link with info for installing new downloaded aircraft. There are also downloads that once this program is on your computer it will take the aircraft zip file and load it into FSX with just a couple of keystrokes. http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/conten...-Flightsimmers

Welcome Eli,

If it does not come with a self installer then you will need to unzip the downloaded file to a suitable folder in your documents, then open either the Aircraft folder (FS2004) or Airplanes folder (FSX) these are located by default as below:

FS2004: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft

FSX:C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes

When you have found the correct folder, copy & paste the new aircraft into it.

Some addon aircraft come with other folders with gauges or effects, these should be copied into the sim gauges or effects folders found in the main Flight Simulator 9 or Microsoft Flight Simulator X directory located by default as below:

FS2004: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9

FSX:C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X

Thats it, now your ready to fly your new aircraft.

If there is a readme file in the folder, it should say how to install it, if not, look above.

FS2004 ? FSX ? FlightGear ? X-Plane ?

If it's X-Plane, you'll find tips here: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?showtopic=21436

Happy flying.
