I am running windows 7.....
and FSX,  Idownloaded and unzipped a few add ons, but cannot find the FSX file, and dont know how to edit it, the instructions on the site work for XP, not windows 7, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

here's what you do if the addons are planes. First, go to Start, then to My Computer, next to Local Disk, then Program Files x86, then Microsoft Games, then Flight Simulator X, and then Simobjects, and finally into the Airplanes, or Rotorcraft folders depending on the download. Then right click on the addon file folder and select Copy. Then go back to the Airplanes folder and select Paste when you right click. Any questions, feel free to ask!

If you install that way, you may have problems if the add-on has additional sound, effects and gauge folders.

To install:

Unzip the download to either the desktop or a "down-load" folder.

Open the estracted folder, locate and read the "Read Me" file.
