I need some help installing some planes in AFPD

I have installed some about a year ago but not sure what im doing wrong now. I got the planes off of
www.rc-sim.de The files are exe's and self install but when I go into the program the new planes are not listed, yet the folders and files for the planes are in the aircraft folder. I have done a repair install of the program and updated to the lates version. Am I missing something?[&o]
