I have FSX, and I know that the majority of the planes aren't able to work with. So how do you download new planes from other sites that I can use? I'm really confused by this, so if someone could help me figure this out, that would be great.

Go to this site: http://www.avsim.com/
It is one of the bets FS sites around. After registration there is a vast, and I do mean vast, file library there for you to use.
You can probably find almost any plane for FS9 there. More and more planes are being added for FSX as well.

Great, thanks a bunch. One more question, though: after registering on that site, I tried to access files off of there but couldn't. How exactly do you download these files, and where is the best place to save them?

After you log on,click File Library on the top left of the webstite.After that,in the middle of the page is the Search for box.Enter what you want to look for.Then under that,click the category you want to search in,Fsx for you.Then click Search.
To download a file you want,just click download to the right of the file.
I save my files to my destop,then move the files to where ever tey have to go.

Once you log in, go to the top menu bar where is has a red triangle and FILE LIBRARY. Click that, and it will bring up a basic search menu for you. You can specifiy your search criteria as well. When you download, some require EULA acknowledgements or other AGREE items. I save mine to a partitioned drive for nothing but FS items. I have that folder further divided into Scenery/Planes/Helos/etc. I further have it broken down by month, and I rename them to what I understand (not what the base downloaded file may have been named).
You may get a bar on the top of your screen ensuring that you want to download - normal stuff.

How do you get the planes to show up in FSX after you have downloaded them? I have many downloaded but are unable to get them inot the program so help would be great
