Go to the CFS downloads section (you can connect to it from the bottom of the front page here), download the ones you want by clicking on them and saving them to a temporary folder.
Then copy the mission (once unzipped) into the missions folder and away you go.

Hopdaddy,

Most of us would be pleased to help you, mate, if we knew just what exactly your problem is.

You can't find the missions at simviation to download?
You found the missions at simviation but can't download them?
You downloaded the missions but can't unzip them?
Or, you unzipped the missions but don't know where to put them in CFS so they can be flown?

Let us know and we'll help.
Post the problem here in the forum or e-mail me at mikencfs@aol.com

IM not sure I understand your problem but this is the way I add missions.

Create a new folder on your desk top name it cfs_1 or if you are down loading for CFS_2 name it for the apropriate Microsoft Game. CFS_1 CFS_2 FS_2000 etc.

After down loading close all programs. create a new folder on your desk top name it zip_2

OK unzip your zip file in CFS_1 to Zip_2 folder.

Run your virus scan on the Zip_2 folder. if not virus open the folder and copy the mission.

if you did a normal install your game should be in

C:/Programs/CFS_1/Missions folder.

Paste the new mission to this folder.

Some missions require third party scenery and aircraft. Some scenery requires certain textures. You will have to follow the creators instructions. Do not skip any part. Always read the help file and the read me first file that comes with the down load.

A and P
Have A Great Day
