Try the Hughes 500 at http://www.simviation.com/fs2004props25.htm its a self-installer, and simply divine!
Five hours is not bad on the stick-time front ;) An excellent start :)

There is no long way ...unless you don't understand the simple way how 4 sub folders sit under 1 main folder.

Believe me - the quickest way to install aircraft is manually. I can probably do any basic aircraft in under 5 seconds.

All due respect but I think you're being lazy

Raptor read the tutorial I've posted a link too. This makes it easier than falling off a log ;)

It just takes practice in getting used to the FS system.  Once you begin to understand how the folders go together-it becomes very easy to install the planes.  I won't lie, when I first started doing it I didn't really understand it-and once I began to play with it for a while (learning from the small mistakes I had made) it became easy.  Don't worry raptor, you'll get them working.   ;)

Number 1, you dont know how to refuel, and now you dont know how to install aircraft. no offense, but thats being a tad bit lazy. forget the self installing downloads. sure, its easier, but there arent too many good planes that fit your criteria. im the one who told you how to refuel. did it work? or did you screw up?

There is a B-25 Mitchell here that is a self-install file and it is one of my favorite planes.  It doesn't have a DVC and is a rather large download (like 56MB or something) but is a great plane.
