mrzippy Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Common Apps?? What's that? Do these aircraft have an auto-installer? What aircraft in particular are you trying? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The same way as in MS FSX. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mqytn Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Since most installers will not know where Steam is located, I would unzip or install the aircraft to a folder then move it to: program files:steam:steam apps:common:fsx:sim objects:airplanes.

PhantomTweak Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I agree with mqytn, although for a different reason. I don't trust auto-installers. I always point an autoinstaller at an empty "temp" folder, then copy-paste to FSX-SE. I want to know just what the autoinstaller puts where. Just my 2C worth. mqytn did provide you the correct path, though. In other words, he told you just exactly where to stick it :D :D :D Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again! Sgt, USMC, 10 years proud service, Inactive reserve now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
