when downloading aircraft into my files for FSX when i go into program files, i dont see a plce for certain aspects of the model i.e:, panels and plain old aircraft...i think i saw something about planes in the simobjects folder...is this where i put the entire plane or just the part that says the name of the plane and the rest i put in the folders like panel ,scenery,etc.
also do i open a seperate folder within the program files or add it to the corresponding folders...panel,scenery,etc.????? HELP PLEASE !!! |

Be sure that they are FSX not 2004 or just textures and look under the manufacturer's name, they can hide.

Open the file you downloaded. Its probably a zipped file so extract it and read the README. It will tell you what to do. Basically, you copy the folder which contains the files (such as aircraft.cfg) into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes |
