Simviation Forums

Hi all,
I have downloaded 5 files and not one has worked. XF-11A, Canada Air King Air 350 textures, Fock Wulf 200, Rotodyne and the Boeing 707 for FSX.
Help?

now it's 6....

7 and 8 and not working....and you want money???? I have no prob at all donating but this is a joke. I just spent an hour removing all of this junk from FSX files...thank you.

Help! I downloaded some stuff and I don't know what I'm doing and I not gona to tell you what I downloaded and I'm not even gona to tell what kind of flight simulator I got and I'm not gona tell you what operating system I got so why aren't you helping me

Think about it for a moment.

Just how are we supposed to help you?

Hello, Flybaby. Welcome to SimV. I can assure you that the problem is not the files you have downloaded from the main site.

Some more info would definately be helpful here. Are you at all familiar with adding aircraft or textures to your sim or is this your first attempt? What operating system are you using?

Here's alink to some good tutorials for FSX: http://simviation.com/1/help

Can you tell us just which files you Downloaded? Where did you unzip them to? Did you do it on your computer or try to unzip them "in place" ie on the website before DLing? What is your FSX complete path? Is it C:\fsx\ for example?
We need all this sort of data before we can make an intelligent and well thought-out attempt at solving your problems

OH! Welcome, by the way! Glad to have another newbie to abuse...err....ASSIST, yeah, ASSIST!
Pat☺

Early days yet... ....

It takes time...and patience!.... to figure out how things work....

...like anything else... ...!

Paul.

P.S.....I could do with a new "Member". My old one has worn out.

Yes, welcome FlyBaby
We all hope our welcome and offer to help you, will not be like "throwing water on a goose"!!!

Eight downloads and three posts in 52 minutes.

I have my doubts that he'll be coming back.



But who knows, maybe he was just having a very bad day.

It took an hour to remove 8 aircraft? That should have taken about 3 or 4 mins. I think you are right, having a bad day. I am just thankfull for a fourm like this where everyone is happy to help when there is a problem .

Welcome FlyBaby,
I can assure you that if you seek and follow the advice of the fine simmers here on Simviation, you will be a master at the ins and outs of
enhancing your favorite simulator.
At first it can be a daunting task, but follow the instructions from the FS sages on this site and you are sure to be
installing, tweaking and flying like a pro in no time.
Once again, Welcome to the Greatest FS site on earth.

We do have plenty of people new to FSX, and flight sims in general, who come here with questions.

Lord knows when I first tried FSX, and my plane went EVERYWHERE but up, I thought that it was a CR%P&* game and I'd just delete the whole thing.

But I (literally) said to myself "I must be doing something wrong - LOTS of people like it?"



And, so far as I have seen, no one criticizes newbies for asking "dumb" questions, because the questions aren't really dumb. They're simply basic questions.

We all have them when we start out. That's life.


But being belligerent and expecting immediate answers comes across as childish.

Not the best way to seek help.


FlyBaby, you're welcome back, there's a lot of people willing to help you.

We do need a bit more info though.

I'm affraid you're right Rich!
We wont see that Baby again. I suspect its just a new "goose" being reading "the posts number" before "getting" in

I can see spam targets has changed from the >music and arts topic<

I hope i'm wrong........

for your info airmail,(name calling), Ive been flying MSFS since the early 90's. I have literally thousands of hours on it and real flight time as well. I actually flew the king Air around the world once....in real time! I also am fluent in computer. So....what does assuming make you? I have 6 add on aircraft that I have already downloaded and installed and run fine but I AM relatively new to add on aircraft. Maybe some of these that I have from here are not full versions idk. So, I already listed the ones I have already DLed and the others I have already deleted but I kept the ones mentioned.
Ok....Im running windows 7 with 3gb ram and 500gb hd. Gateway NV55c.

I had to open my "aircraft un zipped" folder and match files there with the files in MSFS so I knew which files to remove. That take a lot longer than a few min. And plz, spare me the little kid friggin comments plz. Grow up.
