paulwayne Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Dear SGA Forum, I downloaded the DC-9 SGA Laser aircraft and read the read-me instructions. Can you please provide me instructions where to extract the zip file. Should I extract into my main FSX root directory, C:\FSX or extract into the C:\FSX\SimObjects folder? Is this DC-9 aircraft compatible with FSX? It was listed as a FSX compatible aircraft. I extracted into my main FSX root directory C:\FSX and the aircraft id not appear in my FSX aircraft menu selection. Thank You, paulwayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 The aircraft folder goes into FSX/SimObjects/Airplanes folder and works fine! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I would: -1- create a new folder on my desktop. -2- put the .zip file in it, -3- extract it there, -4- look in the extracted folder to see the contents, -5- locate in it the folder that contains the aircraft, -6- copy the folder that is the aircraft to my: ..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Simobjects\Airplanes folder. UPDATE: Strangely, in this download the folder that IS the aircraft is also called...aircraft!! I would rename that folder from "Aircraft" to: SGA_DC9_Laser then place that folder in the: ..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Simobjects\Airplanes folder. UPDATE-2 Sorry if I just said something very daft. I don't know SGA at all. This is my first post in this subforum. I assume SGA is another sim altogether?? In case that is so. My suggestion of renaming applies to installing in fsx. Not to SGA. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 From Mr. Zippy's picture posted above, I will GUESS it's FSX. I would use your suggestion, top to bottom. It's how I install new things. That way you can see if there are effects, gauges, or whatever, to put in their proper FSX folders. I do that especially with auto-installrs. I don't trust those things at all! Always point them at a temp folder and then install whatever myself. Does that help out at all?

il88pp Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Thanks, I get the impression now that SGA is a group that created many aircraft for FSX and FS9. But just in case, will leave the little warning about renaming in. Nice to see you Pat, as always, Have a great day, il [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
