Just don't fire the CANNON for more than a couple of seconds or you'll flame out or stall and fall from your synthetic sky!

Just got my FSX Gold today
I've tried downloading a couple of new aircraft from varios websites (freeware) and I've had this message come up on both downloads when I'm trying to install the app:

The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author.

Is this anything to do with what I'm doing? or is this because I've just been unlucky so far?

[Saracenman]

not sure I've ever seen that one but for most similar messages clicking ok makes it go away and seems to make very little difference

[Stigish]

When the message pops up, its after I've downloaded it. It pops up when I've unzipped the file and I'm attempting to install it so I can go flying. Because of that, it won't install.

I've just had the same problem with download No3 of 3 now .

Does anyone have a direct link for an Airplane download that has worked for them? eg. Vulcan, F14, F16........

[Wedgy]

Ahh - you have trouble with your unzipping

Which Program are you using?

[Tom.com]

I know exactly what you mean, does it have a little brown installer logo??

I have found that only a few have this and it is just trial and error until you find a site that will allow you to download them. Sometimes you don't need to use that though, I take it you know about copying the right files to the right place?

[Stigish]

I take it you know about copying the right files to the right place?

Now I get the feeling I'm doing something wrong?

Yes all the files have a little brown box like logo. I've downloaded 7 now and the same thing everytime.
All the files I'm opening are.air files which are Adobe files. I did updated my version last night, but still had same problem. All, but one of the planes have been modified or created in the last 7 days, which I was hoping would mean they would be more compatable as I'm running FSX with the Accelerator add-on.

All the files I download are .RAR files which I'm unzipping with WinRAR to a folder I have created on my c:/ drive, which has no association with the FSX Folders. Is this what you would normally do?

[Tom.com]

I will show you how to Install and aircraft in a video, give me half an hour, i have nothing better to do, I can give you some of my free add ons as well.

[Stigish]

[Stigish]

I haven't yet been able to watch it as my work pc restricts me from doing so. I'll have a look and PM you later/Saturday.
