If anyone ever got to find a full package: carrier, planes and easy install, it would be nice, because my skills are not that good, i can fly a plane but not hard installations for me please.
So when i see instrucktions like : find gauges here and install there, i am almost lost.
Sorry  |

Dude,
If I can manage to figure this out, then anyone can.
Gauges go to the gauges file and the airplane goes to the aircraft folder.
It's simple! Just like Quantam Physics!Why is it that most ATC controllers can't drink coffee and direct traffic at the same time? |

Just follow the directions slowly and after a few times you'll be doing it as if it came naturally. Follow the read-me in the download then mine.
You need WinZip to unzip the folders.
You can get the trial one at http://www.winzip.com it's the best you can use and the trial will last for years.
I think I know what you are asking but I try answering two ways.
One, If you cannot find your downloads to "unzip" them, send them to "My Computer", "My Briefcase" or even to "Desktop".
You can enter them from any of those areas.
I download to a folder that I have in "My Briefcase" it's just handy for me that way.
Installing.
Ok,
I do it a more complicated way, but it works.
Make certain you have a full aircraft not just textures.
Unzip the file and now it's in it's own little window, you work from there. Dump the jpgs.
dblc=double-click
dblc on "My Computer"
dblc on The "C" drive icon.
dblc on "Program files"
dblc on "Microsoft Games".
dblc on "Flight Simulator.
Now you have all the folders laid out in front of you.
Follow the directions in the read-me that came with the aircraft.
Put the gauges in the gauge folder.
Put the effects in the effects folder.
Put the aircraft in the aircraft folder; make certain it has the correct name of the plane.
Now go crash land like I do.

Have tried that, but ended up with some files i did not know where to put.
Stupid little me...
Perhaps i should start to save some money up and buy the PROFF version. |

For something that complex you might be better off in the long run with a self installing program.
It'll work and look better than free-ware.

Thanks...
It was a bit off the way..
but is still having problems with missing gauges ect. (showing when installing zip files via FLIGHTSIM MANAGER).
But i am still flying around...
Still looking for a carrier and aircraft that support : arrestor hook... catapult start and "meatball" landing system, said in plain danish :
NEED AIRCRAFT THAT CAN DO EVERYTHING ON AN CARRIER AND AN CARRIER TO DO IT ON (WITH EVERY GAUGES ECT. INCLUDED....
Best regards...
