Hi,
Can someone explain the uploding procedure,what is happening is I go to BROWSE as instructed and browse the directory to were the file is eg:- Cessna172 but nothing happens when I click UPLOAD. The only time it will upload is when I click on each individual item inside MODEL........PANEL........ETC.
THANKS

Skyhawk. You must configure it properly & zip it up before trying to upload it. Include a Readme with a brief description, install instructions & your details. Use any download as an example. Depending on the size of the zipfile this might take a while so be patient. You will get a message when upload is complete. There would be no point in trying to upload separate unzipped files.
PS. Use a unique name for your zipfile to avoid conflicts with existing stuff.

Hi Skyhawk. Yes you need to zip the file. This is easy enough using the WinZip right-click "Add to xxxxx.zip" option. The files/folders should be configured properly in a parent folder before zipping it all up. It's helpful if you include a simple text file with a description of your file + a small screenshot of how it looks in the sim. I suggest using a filename that nobody else would use. This is more difficult these days as there's so many similar files around. How about something like sh1_cess172.zip?
As I mentioned previously, download a similar file by an experienced author & use that for an example of how it's done.

Thanks Hagar I followed your instructions and it all went well.I uploaded the aircraft on this site but I have no idea how long before it will be published.
I believe it takes a few days with flightsim .com but no idea with simviation. Do you know?
Thanks again for your help regards skyhawk_1

The site is usually updated every day. If Pete likes it he will post it. Keep your eyes out for it.
PS. I forgot to mention. It's a good idea to have someone you trust beta test your files before you upload them. This would make sure you didn't miss anything & the install instructions are clear.
