Noob with G-4....HELP PLEASE

[Wallyfingers]

Noob with G-4.... :D Got it installed today with no problems. :D It's on my Dell XPS 410, running Vista. I am amazed with how it fells like the real thing, even cringed every time I crashed. I'm an old fixed winger, learning the helicopter and doing good, if I say so myself.
Anyway, I'm looking for info on downloading Aircraft. I could not find a post or Sticky with the information that I needed to what to download and where to put it, :confused: please help.

In the blue bar that goes across the screen, you'll see <swap pages>. Download your planes there, to whereever you want. Then start your sim. There's a function in the sim to import your planes. You don't dump the downloaded plane to any particular place.

Do I need to download all the AV, EV and CS files to one folder and import that folder? :confused:

[jeffpn]

No, the cs is just a colorscheme file. The EA is the entire aircraft, and the AV is aircraft variant. That means typically that the size or flight characteristics have been modified. You need to start with the EA file, and if you're interested in the colorscheme, variant, then download and install them after the EA file is imported.
