new aircraft (Read 1031 times)

I just downloaded a bunch of new planes for CFS1. Most of them unzip just fine into the aircraft folder. Unfortunately some of them (eg ju-188) unzip to show a huge bunch of files that aren't in any particular order or folder. I'm used to being able to unzip an aircraft and it comes up as the usual panel, sound, texture etc folders that go nicely into the aircraft folder in CFS. But what do I do with these???

Check out the file structure of a plane that works...and then make a similar structure for the planes that is buggered up.
Basic structure should look like this:
All of this is contained in the folder for the actual plane
X
.air
X
.dp
aircraft.cfg
texture folder
put all .bmp files (these files might also be of another type such as .#af)
sound folder
sound.cfg file
panel folder
panel.cfg file
possibly a .bmp file or two
model folder
model.cfg file
X
.mdl file
The
X
is used to replace the actual filename that was assigned by the author...you shouldn't have to change that info at all.
If you are still confused then read teh fine tutorial written by Pete:

Unfortunately zipfiles are not all configured in the same way & come in all shapes & sizes. If you're using WinZip make sure the "Use folder names" option is checked. Use the right-click "Extract to folder ........." option to extract the files. This will automatically extract them as they were originally configured into a new folder with the same name as the zipfile in your download directory. Never unzip downloaded zipfiles direct to the sim. This is the most common cause of installation problems.

Doh!
That's what I get for writing a mini tutorial at o'dark thirty hours! I missed one of the basic pointers.
Thanks Hagar.
Sadly you will also find a few designers that don't really know how to zip properly...this will also result in a file that has not maintained proper folder relationships in the zip file.
