[hazuninga]

[TheElectricSalad]

@hazuninga go to program files (x86)

[chucknorris299]

nice job, but i don't get it, when i go to microsoft games fsx won't show up.... why?!

please help me XD

[BoeingFreak12345]

@chucknorris299 Make sure you have Flight Simulator installed on your computer.

[theeon9110]

i have an iris fighter jet plane...but it won't show the textures at all...it just shows white model flying in the air

[BoeingFreak12345]

@theeon9110 The developer of that plane you added must have made it white, and not an actual livery that it would have.

[hetapolski]

i cant install

[BoeingFreak12345]

@hetapolski Some versions of Flight Simulator are different, so make sure you are using Flight Simulator X. Also, make sure the aircraft you downloaded is not an FS2004 plane, etc.

[xplicitkillr]

Thx for the great video.

[DuggerCrf150r]

@BoeingFreak12345 I did everything you said to do and now my game won't play :(

[BoeingFreak12345]

@DuggerCrf150r Like I said in the description; some plane files have virus'. You need to be very careful when downloading these. It looks like the one you got stops your game from playing.

[Kenny2k08]

Wow this is frustrating... Why doesn't my thing look like yours? I downloaded an F18 and it wasn't where you said it should be...

[BoeingFreak12345]

@Kenny2k08 Different computers put it different places, so check in your My Documents folder. If you are getting desperate, do a search in My Computer for it.

[Kenny2k08]

@BoeingFreak12345 Yeah I figured it out finally and it was actually a lot easier than I thought

[BoeingFreak12345]

@Kenny2k08 Yeah...once you figure out how to do it it gets really easy.

[BruzerKullicks]

@jordyb124 well i got the flight simulator game from gamestop and the joystick.. im pretty sure i got that from the store too ;)

[MegaGansta24]

do you need a account???

[BoeingFreak12345]

@MegaGansta24 It depends on what site you use. Most sites do not REQUIRE you to have an account, but they highly advertise that you do. Other sites make you create a free account. Rarely, you need to make an account and pay money.

[MegaGansta24]

@BoeingFreak12345 i know i have a flightsim account and a simviation but wat about the site you were on???

[bamforth007]

@ jordyb124 I got mine from asda and the joystick from eBay -

Ps thanks for making this video it really helped me :~D

[BoeingFreak12345]

@jordyb124 You can get Flight Simulator X from Wal-mart, Best Buy, or pretty much any store that sells PC Games. The only thing is that Microsoft is about to release a new version of it so I wouldn't buy it quite yet. You can also got a joy-stick from the same places you can get the game from.

[BruzerKullicks]

Name of site?

[BoeingFreak12345]

@BruzerKullicks The site I used in the video was 'Project OpenSky.Com'. They have updated the site, so it won't look exactly like that. Nonetheless, it has the same files.

[bloozboyz]

whats the aircrafts root folder and how do i cfind it

[BoeingFreak12345]

@bloozboyz Part 1/2 The aircraft root folder is usually the name that your aircraft is. For instance, if you have a Boeing 737-800 that you want to add in, you will need the b737_800 folder. Do this for every add on aircraft you need. If the aircraft you want to add in isn't there, you need to make a new folder. For instance, if you want to add in a Boeing 757-200, make a new folder called b757_200.

[BoeingFreak12345]

@bloozboyz Part 2/2 To find the root folder, type this line of code into your Windows Explorer window:

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

[dylanlp1999]

is there any planes you can just download without all that move file shit its too complicated

[BoeingFreak12345]

@dylanlp1999 There are some planes you can download that all you have to do is launch a file and it is installed. Please beware though that this could very easily harm your computer. I would scan it with McAfee, Norton, AVG, or whatever Anti-Virus software you have before launching it.

[triathlon4ever]

Hello i am wondering if i can play FSX on a homemade server. It will have Windows Server 2003 plz help me

[BoeingFreak12345]

@triathlon4ever Yes, you should be able too just as well as you would be able to on a regular computer. You would just need to make sure that the system reaches the FSX system requirements. If you have any further questions, please feel free to let me know.

[YoJay96]

You're The Best MAAANNN, Thaaanks ;)

[BoeingFreak12345]

@YoJay96 No problem!

[we1hate1ryanair]

[MegaBmx3]

@we1hate1ryanair Me to

[BoeingFreak12345]

@we1hate1ryanair You really don't need the readme unless there are special instructions that the aircraft developer wants you to know. Always check the readme!

[Predator13371]

[BoeingFreak12345]

@Predator13371 I'm sorry I forget the name of the song. But thank you and please subscribe!

[knifeedge63]

[BoeingFreak12345]

@knifeedge63 Sometimes I have found that some planes do not work. Have you tried different aircraft. If so, are they from the same website? Please let me know.
