I recently purchased G4 and used the free upgrade to G4.5.No problem.I then downloaded the free add ons and saved them in cache/data as suggested. No extra planes or fields show up on the menus when running the game. I looked up the Knife Edge web site and checked out the gallery for the add ons.Apart from the Harrier my sim only seems to run the standard G4.5 planes and fields. On launching the game I get a series of error messages beginning with " error opening o:\ scenery disk6\image\rfep.1.dckinfo' 11 messages later the game runs.I've emailed the G4 tech support but they are as useless as **** on a bull. A week later and still no reply. Can anyone offer any help?

The instructions mention unzipping the downloaded files. You didn't mention doing that.

You might wish to delete your previous downloads and start over fresh. http://www.realflight.com/free-g4-add-ons.html
I would do one at a time. In fact, that's what I did originally and had no problems installing with the provided instructions.
The instructions worked for my new Vista/64-bit with the appropriate changes. They worked for my earlier that wasn't 64bit and was XP.

If you have a 64-bit, the unzipped contents would go to: "C:\Program Files(x86)\RealFlightG4\Data" (assuming you installed G4 in the default location).

In order for either of the possible update scenarios to work, your RealFlight install will have to have been patched.

I can't think of any other possible problems that could be your cause.

Thanks for your help.I rechecked the destination I unzipped the downloads to and instead of c:\program files\RealFlight G4\Data I stupidly sent them to c:\ users\Documents\Real Flight G4\Cache\data.Duh! Oh well, like the old saying goes,when all else fails,follow the instructions
