I need help bad

Postby NCGent » Mon Nov 14, 2005 12:36 am

I have downloaded a few new missions and aircraft but when I try to enter them into the games aircraft folder or mission folder it does not show up or is not complete. I printed the instructions on how to but I just cant seem to get it right Can anyone give me more detailed instructions on how to do this? My e-mail is chrisherring43@msn.com if you can, thanks.

First of all what Missions or campaigns did you install and how many planes do have in you Hangar. We need more information to be able to help you.

Secound, for the next time try to install one down load at a time. To much information at the same it seems to corrupt the program.

Do not worry. Myself or some else will find a solution to your problem. Just give us more information so we can help you.

James007, Thank you for answering my question. I have downloaded a bunch of aircraft and missions for CFS2 from this site. I tried to install them one at a time into the aircraft folder. The aicraft that I tried to put in were, RAAF_Expansion_A_exe , p11cfs2 and cfsbritmods. They did not showup when I started the game and looked for them, I looked in the free flight and quick combat. I am new to CFS2 and have never tried to add on aircraft before.

Hi Gent. If you double-click on RAAF_Expansion_A.exe I suspect that you will find that it will install itself. You can do this with the file anywhere on your PC, it doesn't need to be in the CFS2\Aircraft folder. Follow the simple instructions as for installing any other program & go fly those missions.

As for the others, go back & read the installation tute again.* http://www.simviation.com/acinstall.htm
Make sure you understand the basic principles which are the same for all M$ sims. You have to extract the downloaded zipfiles before installing them. If you're new at this you might find the tips on my Lair useful. Click on the link to Grumpy's Lair from my sig below.

*PS. Ignore part 4 as this does not apply to CFS2. WinXP has its own onboard unzipper so you don't need WinZip.
