Welcome to Simv

You said you try to Unzip the file and it denies? You shouldn't never Unzip the file directly into the game ,Instead unzip it first in a folder.
Did you download the file here in Simviation?

It comes up with **Access is denied,unable to create directory** no matter hat aircraft or mission it is.I use winzip for gtr evolution and have no problem at all extracting files.

As Alex says, you need to unzip the files before you place them into the sim. Trying to unzip directly into the sim can cause you all sorts of problem.
Go to your desktop, create a new folder and then choose this as your destination folder. Once the file has been unzipped, you can cut and paste your download into the sim. Also as a rule there will be installation instructions within the zip.

Lastly, what zip program are you using. If it is Winzip, may I suggest WinRar I have never had a problem with this program. It is a lot easier to us than Winzip (my opinion only) and it is free.
