2.11 More missing aircraft!

From FlightSim

Q:

I DOWNLOADED SOME AIRCRAFT (LIKE THE 747, 77, 767) AND INSTALLED THEM THE WAY THE INCLUDED README FILE TOLD ME. I COPIED THE .AIR AND .CFG FILES TO THE AIRCRAFT FOLDER (THE 747 FOLDER, 777- FOLDER ETC...) AND MADE THE FOUR DIRECTORIES (MODEL, PANEL ETC...). ONLY THE AIRBUS A340 IS WORKING PERFECTLY (THE ONE FROM AUSTRIAN AIRLINES). BUT THE OTHERS ARE GIVING ME PROBLEMS. THE FACT IS THAT THEY AREN'T LISTED IN THE AIRCRAFT SELECTION OPTION OF FS98 SO I CANNOT FLY THEM AND THAT IS FRUSTRATING.

A:

I think I can help you. First of all, when you download these aircraft, create a separate folder for them, a folder outside FS98. You can put it anywhere, just as long as you can find it again. Second, unzip these files and tell the program to unzip them back into the folder you put the .zip file in. After you've unzipped them, go to FS98 Aircraft Converter and convert the aircraft file. Most of the aircraft out there will tell you that you have to copy a certain file into a certain directory or move the .gau files into the gauges folder. Most of the time, you don't have to do that. Notice I said MOST. Anyway, when you ran the converter, it automatically put the file the sim it needed in a new folder it created for the a/c INSIDE the FS98 aircraft folder. This is how I've done it and I have over 30 aircraft in my database. If you got anymore problems, just post a message here!!
