FSX Aircraft add problem

Postby awhapshott » Fri Feb 21, 2014 8:39 am

Hi,

I'm fairly new to this, please forgive me if I am missing something obvious;

I've tried to add a few new aircraft (free Simvation ones; Spitfire, EE Lightning, Sopwith Camel) and have followed the instructions to add them, (Extract, paste in aircraft file etc.)
But when I open FSX it shows no new aircraft; I am not sure how to get them there, does anybody have any ideas? Many Thanks in advance! :D

Simple way is to extract "Zip"-folders to FSX---better is to see what You get first :geek: After extracting in folders of Your choice---maybe "hengar" or so---copy files to samenamed in FSX; aircraft =>FSX/SimObjects/Airplanes or Rotorcraft; Gauges=>gauges; Effects=>effects.......Adding textures only----copy Texture-folder to resp. aircraft an add text to CFG-file and set next
"flightsim.x"-number.
Some addons doesn't work in Sim-- :naughty: -no long search, take another plane! :handgestures-thumbupleft:
