FSX novice. First add-on not on Airplane list.

Hello Folks,

I just installed my first add-on aircraft, South African Airlines, Comet Jet Airliner, however, it does not appear in my airplane listing. I installed as per the readme file to my FSX folder as follows: MSFS/FSX/SimObjects/Airplanes.

The file ssacomet.zip has a check mark indicating a complete model. Is it possibly an AI model? The files appear in the Windows File Explorer but not in the FSX airplane list.

Thanks, Brian

Here is the readme.

FSX - Early Aircraft

This De Havilland Comet aircraft was leased by SAA from BOAC. They were the first jet passenger aircraft in the world. A Comet flying to Johannesburg from London broke up near Naples.Subsequently all Comets were grounded and were withdrawn from Service. They were replaced by the Douglas DC-7B.

I do not have a photo of a Comet in SAA colours but have assumed it would be similar to the DC 4 and Avro York.

Model is by Dee Waldron

Panel is by Marco Spada [please see documentation]

Intallation:

------------

1] Unzip the SAACOMET.ZIP file to a temporary directory

2] Copy the "SAA Comet 4" Directory into the Airplanes directory.

This directory should be as follows if a standard installation of FSX has been done

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\

Have fun.

You may be overlooking it in the list. It would show up as:

de Havilland

DH.106 mk4c

South African Airways

The plane shows up fine here. Under de Havilland.

(you can selest manufacturer in th box at the top of the list.)

You are right. I was looking for SSA Comet. Thanks for your help.
