adding aircraft to flight sim 2004

[Guest]

I recently bought flight sim 2004 and tried to down load
aircraft to it by putting them in the aircraft file and
unzipping them in there ( I am part of virtual
Frontier .org) and the aircraft were from there sight
when I start the sim 2004 and go to create a flight then
to change aircraft none of the planes are there that I
down Loaded and I cant seem to find a aircraft editor to
help create a path for them like you had with fs 2002 any
help would be greatly appriciated thanks in advance

Erick -
You are using the wrong procedure.
1. Create a new folder on your desktop and put the
zip file there... and extract it.
2. You will almost always then find a 'readme' file
of some sort that will instruct you as to how to proceed.
It's generally a straight forward two or three step thing,
but it does have to be done correctly or the a/c won't
show up.
