well then will you give very, very clear in depth information on how to get the downloads to show up. I've tried everything the FSX installer help said to do and I've even done what the people told me to do. I still don't have anything.

That's exactly what I've done since I first learned how to D/L and install add-on anythings.  And I was the noobiest noob there was!

I now have 140+ aircraft in my hangar!

One more thing.....can I get one of them there "hugs" also?!?

With all respect, A-10, all the freeware you download from SimV as well as other freeware sites is FREEWARE! The persons making these addons is doing it for free, and not all of them are professionals. So a little thankfullness is appreciated.

I can assure you you will not find a finer forum that will help you with any trouble you might get! so hang on there, your problems will soon be over, and soon you will get the SimV fever, and then it just never stops 

Enjoy!

You can't open those (AIR. files) without the software used to create them, and you shouldn't have any reason to do so (to install it, anyway). The "corrupt" message is probably just your OS's default "I dunno" response to a file it can't deal with.

As Jakes pointed out, these amateur-authored download folders are often tricky to sort out and install correctly... a typical problem is that the author packs them up in layers of folders, and things get separated, mislabeled or whatever.

And as others have also pointed out, your demand, or request, or whatever it is cannot be dealt with here unless we know the identity of at least one of the aircraft packages in question. There are thousands, and they're all different.
