Did you download it from Simviation? Any chance of a link to the page the file is posted on?

I actually downloaded it directly from their website.

This doesn't make sense at all. I've been corresponding with Bob from PAD and this is the first time he's heard this problem (thanks, Bob for being accessible). I'll double check but I'm pretty certain I downloaded the FS2004 version.  I have no issues extracting the files to the FS9 folder and I have no problems selecting the aircraft on the main FS9 screen. The plane looks fantastic.

Just to double check, how are you guys extracting the files to FS9?  I do exactly what the README file says to do, but I thought I'd double-check anyway.

I'm set up to start cold and dark every time, so that's my default setting.

Here's my start-up sequence in the Marquis:

1) Battery on, avionics on, fuel pumps on
2) Condition levers set to start/taxi position
3) Push right yellow button until right engine starts
4) Push left yellow button until left engine starts
5) Parking brake off
6) Push throttle levers forward

The engine spools to 100% with throttles full forward but the airplane will not move. When I push SHIFT + P, the plane will push back.

Other aircraft work fine.

I do use a logitech joystick that has a single throttle lever. I set it up using FSUIPC and it seems to work fine, but perhaps there could be something I set up wrong?

I'm at a loss here.

I never extract anything directly to FS.  I always extract (or direct the auto-installer) to a temporary folder, read the instructions very carefully and then, if all appears OK, I manually move things where they should go.
