Well, as a rule, I never use the auto-installers available.  In general practice they work okay, but sometimes you run into problems with them.

The way I install stuff is to download, then extract it to a temp folder on my desktop and pull the files out manually and put them where they need to go.

For the actual aircraft, just drop the main folder into your FS "Aircraft" folder and it will show up in the selection menu (or should Roll Eyes).

For the gauges, just copy them over to the "gauges" folder of FS.  DO NOT OVERWRITE ANY GAUGES!!!  This is important.  I have seen many people have to reinstall FS simply because they overwrote with other gauges that were corrupted or didn't work right.

This is generally regarded as the best aircraft installation tute posted anywhere. http://www.simviation.com/acinstall.htm

Providing you follow the instructions carefully & understand the basic principle you should not experience any problems. As for the gauges, follow Ender's suggestion. Quote:

Paste the actual gauge files, not the folder containing them, into FS9\GAUGES. This is the best advice I can give you.
