ChiefJon Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I downloaded my flight sim purchase, zip file showed up fine. I extracted the files and it placed them into a file called C:programfiles\microsoftgames\flightsim9. This file shows up but there is no executable file to start the application. Where do I find this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Why did you place the extracted files into your Sim? Did the instructions say to do that? Some addons do not have an executable file. You usually have to know the appropriate folders to place them into. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 When you place the folders (Main, model, panel, sound and texture) under 'Aircraft' folder, there is a aircraft.cfg in that airplane's Main folder. That is where Sim looks. It reads the info in aircraft.cfg (and looks at 'sim=xxx' (where 'xxx' is the name of the 'xxx.air' file)) and puts them together and when you choose it by clicking on name the Sim will 'load' the aircarft and you can then fly it. So there is no 'exe'. Just go to 'Aircraft/Select Aircraft' to find. Click on it and the click 'Fly Now'. Done. Next!

zswobbie1 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Just a quick question.. What is the name of your purchase? Is it an add-on? Maybe, with this information, we can help a bit more. Robin Cape Town, South Africa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
