Hello StringBean. I was sent to you by Mr Zippy. Sorry...try not to blame him. I am an FSX-SE user and have approximately 700 hours of simulation time. I am kind of burning out on my current aircraft and have been attempting, and I stress (attempting), to download and install a few new aircraft programs. In the year plus I've had FSX-SE I've been successful only once in installing an aircraft and that was only because it had an .exe install icon. All of the other aircraft I have downloaded, I have followed the (read me) instructions to the T but no luck. I don't even get far enough to see the choice of aircraft in the Free Flight/Current Aircraft/Change link. Mr Zippy replied to me and said that installing aircraft in FSX-SE is much more complicated than most of the (read me) files explain and that you were the go to guy on this one. When and if you have time...could you please shed some light on this for me? I would sure appreciate the knowledge. Thank you. Dave R
