sarahkelly Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Hi there, I'm new here and a technophobe, I just downloaded a PA28 Warrior Aircraft but I can't see it when I turn on FSX, what do I do with the downloaded file in order for it to be available on my Sim? Thanks for your help here, Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Nels_Anderson Posted September 14, 2019 Founder Share Posted September 14, 2019 Using computer flight simulators in generally is technically challenging, as is flying itself. You'll need to advance beyond the technophobe stage otherwise you're just setting yourself up for endless frustration. You should always start by reading the docs (text files) inside whatever file you download. That should give you some instructions. We also have tutorials online such as this one: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/content.php?2063 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Sounds like you need to know how to work with zip files. The files are zipped. So you need WinZip or 7Zip program to 'un-zip' the download files (which are compressed, or 'zipped'). In the zip download the files will have a folder structure that will place the files into you 'SimObjects\Airplanes' folder IF you have 'Use Folder Names' ticked. It is best to un-zip to a TEMP folder and then move, or copy, the folders to your 'SimObjects\Airplanes' folder. Go to YouTube to find videos on how to do all of this if you want. Good luck.

il88pp Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Hi, :D Give the name of the file you downloaded. (filename.zip) (And name of website you got it from.) If I have time later I'll have a look at it. Edited September 14, 2019 by il88pp [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
