Dear All,
I am running windows 7 and have downloaded an aircraft. I have unzipped the file but what do I do next?
or is there any explanation on here that tells me what to do?
Thank you,
Mark

Hi Mark,

I think the link to the help FAQ is great, but if you are like I was about 5 years ago, you might be reading through the stuff, glassy eyed, thinking what the f___. Most of what I have learned since becoming a simmer is what I learned by self exploration...wait a minute, that's not exactly what I meant. ;D I mean I found myself almost completely on my own and had to learn most of what I have learned on my own. HOWEVER, if you have a specific question, feel free to ask. In terms of your question, I would need a little more info to narrow down exactly what it is you are asking. Let me know if you still need some help. ;)

I figured about 10 to 15% of what I know about FSX on my own.....mostly after getting a good idea on where to go/what to do from here at SimV.

The other 85 to 90% I figured out from the smart folks around here. :) 8-) :)

While there is a LOT to be said about learn-by-doing, there's also a lot more to be said about learning how to to it from those smarter and/or more experienced than oneself!

Prevents rendering things FUBAR and having to uninstall/reinstall FSX in its entirety. :-[

After the fourth (or more) instance of that sorta solution, I figured I'd learn how and what to do (correctly!) the first time or so.

Saved on a lot of Advil that way! :D
