Simviation Forums

I have an aspiring 8 year old pilot and we have tried to download several add-ons for him.

first thing first be more specific.
-are you running win XP or vista or win 7?
-what version of fsx do you have?
-what airplane do you want to download?
- where did you download it?
this way you'll have more chance to get an answer!

Thanks for the advice.  I added the extra information in my original question.

well i don't have win 7, so have a look in the section flight sim x faqs. you will find some info there. and i'm sure that many issues about win 7 have been addresses in these forums somewhere . so try to use the search option at the top of the forum pages. sorry.

I will try and get a picture setup of an aircraft I am downloading atm, if you find how to get it working before hand just post on this thread.

Step 1


Step 2


Step 3
Check to make sure that you do not have any extrafiles needed in there. Some times people will have multiple folders, using the desktop as the download location
Desktop>B19>B19
If you move that first B19 into your aircraft folder you will not see it(This is where I and others normally mess up, especially our first time)
