I STILL DON'T GET IT!!!

I REALLY don't understand how to move the downloaded files into the Flight Simulator X folder. I did it and the game started and then said that the file I was looking for was corrupt or could not be found. Any reasons why? Is it supposed to do that? Any step by step directions would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks-corvette37

Not sure what your transfering in...

The read me files usually describe the destination.

But FIRST, before you drop any new stuff into your FSX folders, you need make a backup copy, in case it screws up files. That way, at the very least, you are back to where you started. Especially so if any of the files you are importing are meant to replace the ones put in by the FSX original install.

I would suggest looking in the FAQ's up top. There are couple that takl about importing planes.  Even if you importing other stuff, I would read them anyway as it contains good information regarding the folder and file structure.

Also, FYI, it is easier for folks to help (even if I was not much help), if you cantain your questions to a single thread instead of creating a new one every time. Good Luck.

Also, I have noticed that it helps to post, and wait (yes wait) a day, as member of this thread are spread out over many timezones. The person with the right answers may be 6, 7 or more hours off from you.

I downloaded an aircraft (Continetal 737-800). I moved the "texture coa" to the "FSX\Simobjects\airplanes\B737_800" folder just fine. I have opened the B737_800 aircraft.config file in notepad and pasted the text into it but when I try to save it it will not save......Any suggestions??????
