First you have to unzip the folder to a temporary spot.  Your desktop will work fine.

Then copy the aircraft folder into your FS9/Aircraft directory.

If you should see anything that says "gauges" (usually in the panel directory of the zip file), those will need to go into your FS9/Gauges directory.  (Rare, but necessary if they're there.)

Once you've done that, you should be all set!

Well done. I haven't tried the crash file you mention. I imagine instructions are included. Look for a text file in the download. It's usually named Readme.txt or similar. You can open it in Notepad or a word processor.

Most downloads come with instructions. It's best to follow them but ignore all advice to unzip files direct to the sim. For the repaints read this thread. http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=COF;action=display;num=108... If they're for 3rd party aircraft you might need to install the original first or it could be configured as a complete aircraft. The included instructions should tell you.

Thanks this helps.


There is a readme in the crash thing but it says just to  instal abd then your done. So i Installed it into my reg FS2004 folder and it did not work. So i presume this is the wrong folder to put it in. So if you know could you please help.


Thanks

It depends which "crash thing" you're using.  There are several. 

Personally, I use CrashBak and Select FX (payware, but very reasonable) by Grant Bovee.  There are demos available here at SimV and I love 'em.
