how do you download new planes and helis, i know where to just cant get them to show up on the model load screen? i have a windows computer, any help would be greatly appreiciated

Are they in a zip file? (Like: T-REX_Blue.zip) If so, you need to use WinZip or WinRar to extract the files into the appropriate folder. I extracted mine into C:\Program Files\FMS\Model

Then fire up FMS and it should show up.

thanks alot, i just right clicked and extracted through Extract Wizard, thanks for the help alot

Here's a link to some cool Photolistic panorama sceneries already made to work in FMS.
All you have to do is convert those images to .bmp files. and rename them to match what's in the .scn file
Copy and paste the .scn file , crash, and 3d files from a scenery that i made or some other skybox type scenery..
into a new folder and you're good to go. As long as the folder is not zip...FMS can read it from anywhere.
You don't need to extract the models/sceneries into FMS. Save it on a disc if you choose.

The sceneries are in SKYBOX fortmate already. It's the original aurthor of the many scenes that other sims use.
The work is complete and done correctly.

They are also in HD 2048x2048. Do the math and it's a 8192x4096.... 360x180 or equirectangular.
If you convert them to .bmp files, it'll give you 80-90 mb.

You can also change the uvxzy vaule of the skybox .scn file to give give it better graphics or resolutions..if you know
what you're doing.
