Flight Simulator X add-on problem?

I downloaded some files from a freeware site to add to my FSXght Simulator X game. I unzipped them with the computer's built-in "wizard", and I tried to put them into the correct files of the game, (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X). Then, I immediately get smacked with this message:



"Cannot create or replace [file name]: access is denied.



Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use."



FSX was not running.



I am on a limited account. (I personally think this is the problem.)



Any suggestions?Flight Simulator X add-on problem?
Nigel, Was some what on the Mark. "the Wizard" May not know where to send the file's.



Downloading Aircraft for FSX from the net. About 20% are full models, Complete aircraft, Panels, Sound, Texture.



The other 60% are TEXTURES only.



So, People who are new, May send the file to Aircraft file. But did not send it to the said air craft texture file.



Or They did every thing right. But when they found it.



It shows the Aircraft as ? You will need to Take a Photo then send it to the textures. Name the photo "Thumbnail" And place it in side with the textures.



Or it did come with a photo, Open the texture file and see if one is. If you see one. Jpeg you will need to change the word from JPEG to Thumbnail. Then your aircraft Photo will show up.



FSXNWA@yahoogroups.com Has a Photo page step by step

To load your Model and Texture files.Flight Simulator X add-on problem?
After you unzip the files, make sure you read any included "read me" files...they usually give you pretty good instructions for installing. What type of files are you trying to add? Aircraft files have to go into yor FSX Sim objects/airplane folder, Scenery files have to go in your FSX Addon Scenery folder, etc. You can't just place files in the main FSX folder. Also, do you have enough free hard drive space availabe to add the new files?
