Help with down loading aircraft!!

[Longwing]

I just can't seem to get the down loads into real flight. They go to my file correctly but won't load in real flight any sugestions? I don't get the same prompting as in the instructions? Do I right click on the download and save target as or do I do something different? Help me please. Oh also do I go throught the zip wizard and put in this address (C:\Program Files\RealFlightG3 directory.) If so it is not working this way.


Thanks

nope...windows sees the G3X files as zips.
you need to make sure you download the G3X file
once you have a G3X file you import the file into G3

OK what is see now is a zipped file in my documents section once I have down loaded from the internet. I don't get the prompting to save as or anything like that. Can someone walk me through this?

Thanks

Actually you do not have the problem if you use something other than Internet Exploder :lol:

Download Firefox
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

Use it to download the files, is the easiest for me.

Thanks DebianDog,

Could you walk me through the steps once. I have down loaded the site and have a couple of copies of trex's on my fliles but I am stumped on how the get them to play through the sim. I have tried using zip wizard and draging the flie to real flight but nothing seems to work.

Delete any zip files you have

If you download the file with Firefox it downloads as a "HelicopterName.G3X" file
You select Import -> Import in G3X file

That is all the steps ;)

[Longwing]

My next step after downloading firefox is to down load trex or any other plane right? Do I use the extraction wizard next? If not what steps do I use? Please help.

Just click the file to download it in Firefox. Download it to your desktop. Click import G3X. Choose that file. Thats it.

ok
assuming you can now download the G3X file
this is the next step.

this is a copy and paste from your T-Rex 600 thread dog
hopfully it will help

After you open G3, on the top menu:
Click on Simulation in the menu bar.
Select Import.
Select G3X...

Then locate where you saved the TRex file and open that file. It will load the model into the simulator.

To select the model after it has been loaded, go to the top menu:
Select Aircraft.
Select Aircraft...
Expand the Custom Aircraft selections and find the loaded TRex model.
