Just a question about FSX

Post by Lufthansa Cargo »

Asallaam alaikum,

I am currently having difficulty downloading aircraft into FSX. I have tried several websites and downloaded as per their instructions into the aircraft folder via sim objects in FSX but when I check the folder after the download they are not there and when they are I unzip the files into the aircraft folder and then turn on FSX. They do not show up.

Can somebody please help?

This is what you need to do. First of all download your aircraft files in a temporary folder (such as your desktop) and unzip it after you download the aircraft in question.

Make sure you unzip your aircraft into the following folder

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes

I hope that helps. Please let me know..
The orbital speed of the Earth around the Sun averages about 30 km/s or 18 mps (108,000 km/h or 67000 mph).
Which means we're travelling 97 times the speed of sound. And yet we can't feel the motion,
SubhanAllah

Thanks for the information,

I have done this on many a/c but the only ones that seem to be working are Camsim's / IFDG Boeing 787, B787 Super 11s, and a AA B763. Something is better than nothing. If there are any other ways please do let me know.

Thanks,
Salem Aziz

How would I activate all the traffic I have downloaded for example iFDG and Project Opensky? I would like to see all of this traffic along with the basic FSX traffic when I am flying any of my aircrafts.

Thanks,
