How to install this mod

FSX / P3D aircraft

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Copy aircraft files into SimObjects

    Place the aircraft folder inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\. The folder must contain an aircraft.cfg file. Effects go into FSX\Effects\; gauges go into FSX\Gauges\.

  3. Verify in FSX

    Launch FSX, go to Free Flight → Select Aircraft and find your new aircraft under its manufacturer.

  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.

    Nice I'm downloading, will see later details, panel, sound.

    Hope is more or less like the real thing. Also, you are the best page for downloading airplanes. Pity you have no more FS 2004. Thank you, Albert Aldana /Argentina Buenos Aires.

    I agree with Adam. Beautiful skin, easy download, fairly easy to fly. The only thing that I didn't like was the 747 instrument panel. Overall, though, good job! Thanks!
