New guy needs help with adding new planes to fsx

[blackbird44]

Hello all,

I downloaded the new planes and they are in the folder with the other aircrafts that came with the sim. They don't come up on the list to fly.Is the computer not letting me run these files because it doesn't recognize who it came from? I also have two planes that came with the sim "goose amphib" and "maule" that do not work at all. I called microsoft and thay told me if I want to fly the two planes I would have to purchase an adventure... Any help would be very helpful.

This has been covered here before and there are many reasons for these things to happen. It would help if you post the version of FSX you are running and also the link or name of the aircraft you are trying to install.

Some reasons for aircraft not showing up are forgetting to unzip the downloaded folder first before install, incompatibility with flight sim version, no thumbnail image in the texture folder........

What are the planes? and could you provide the link were you got them from?

As for the Goose and the Maul, what M$ means
