:exclamation :grinHi Mark. captjim here.  need some help with the HJG Classics.  There are some great plenas in there, however I am having a real problem downloading them into my FS Programs  :-[.  Can I assume that I can download them into FS9 and FS2002 Pro???  I tried to follow the instructions on downloading them into the FS aircraft section.  No luck.  Here is what I do, (hopefully you can follow this..)  I first download to my DESKTOP.  After that I EXTRACT ALL into MY COMPUTER, LOCAL DISK, PROGRAM FILES, SGF9, AIRCRAFT.  It appeares to go into the FS progfram, but it will not show up when I start the FS program. (still with me??).  Almost all of the simviation aircraft that I have downloaded is the past have worked using this method.  Can you suggest any remedy for this problem?? Thanks, captjim.

"CAPTJIM" .... sorry .... I've only just seen you posting "here".

For future reference .... it would be best to post a query like this on the HJG forum where you can be garunteed quicker attention.

Anyway ....

Most .... if not all display problems with our aircraft are caused by minor/inadvertent errors when editing AIRCRAFT.CFG files with texture/FLTSIM.X data .... in 99% of cases !

You need to also check that you haven't inadvertently got a valid folder (either Aircraft Base Pack, or Texture) still contained within another containing folder from the downloaded ZIP file .... this also will result in aircraft not displaying within the FS Aircraft Selection Menu. This buisines of accidentally getting folders within folders has been known to occur on some systems when extracting data automatically to wherever within the FS file structure it should go. Personally I recommend unzipping all files to Desktop .... or another Temporary Folder .... then constructing your aircraft containing folders there complete with textures, sounds, and panels .... then manually dragging & dropping these completed folders into the Aircraft folder of the FS program you're running. I've never ever known that system to fail.

Our aircraft require that you download and install the Aircraft (type) Base Pack first. Then install your texture files of choice into these Base Packs. For each texture folder you install .... you must copy & paste the FLTSIM.X data accompanying each texture download (i.e. that's the "ADD TO AIRCRAFT" text) to your AIRCRAFT. CFG file .... and in doing so you must also then remember change the FLTSIM.X data line for your first CFG file entry to read FLTSIM.0 .... with all subsequent texture entries for the same aircraft type following in strict numerical sequence .... e.g. FLTSIM.1 .... FLTSIM.2 .... FLTSIM.3 etc

You must also be sure to use the correct textures with the correct models too .... or they will not work with the models or may fail to appear within FS.

Everything uploaded to our website is organized into its correct aircraft type sections with the correct Aircraft Base Packs and textures etc.

I hope this information will help you pin-point where you've gone wrong .... and get you up and running.

A few final words ....

All our aircraft, textures, sounds, panels, and effects are both FS2004 and FSX compatible.

Most (not all) of these files will display OK within FS2002 .... but .... they "WILL NOT" run properly within that older FS version.

No problem "CAPTJIM" ! :)

See how you get along on the basis of my above advice.

Should problems prevail .... then please register and post over on the HJG forum and I'll see what we can do for you.

Whenever posting a query of this nature .... I encourage folk to also post with their query a copy & paste of their CFG file text (FLTSIM.X section only) for us to view .... and also (if possible) make a JPEG image showing the contents of their offending file to post as a screenhot with their query too.

Doing all that just helps make life so much easier for us all ! ;)
