Welcome to Simv

You said you try to Unzip the file and it denies? You shouldn't never Unzip the file directly into the game ,Instead unzip it first in a folder.
Did you download the file here in Simviation?

As Alex says, you need to unzip the files before you place them into the sim. Trying to unzip directly into the sim can cause you all sorts of problem.
Go to your desktop, create a new folder and then choose this as your destination folder. Once the file has been unzipped, you can cut and paste your download into the sim. Also as a rule there will be installation instructions within the zip.

Lastly, what zip program are you using. If it is Winzip, may I suggest WinRar I have never had a problem with this program. It is a lot easier to us than Winzip (my opinion only) and it is free.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
