Ok... this is my stupid question of the day, and I know half of the answers are view the read me file, I know that and try that, however I am not that computer savy, would like to try sprucing up some of my airports, dont have the funds for payware, so will try freeware. I konw there are a few decent ones of KSLC and KATL, the first two I would like to try. However, even with some readme files, I dont follow... If there is someone so kind enough to email me or if you could help me on here and maybe a few others who might read this, someone might be able to give step by step instructions for the not so computer savy, if not its cool.
Also I am at work now, can I download some zip flies and or extract them, and email them to myself, so download at my house? Is that possible.
Thanks in advance for any and all help on this, tired of not knowing...

IM like you on this addon stuff. Airports are pretty easy. But aircraft is a differend story. Maybe some one can send us some where to get a step my step print out.
Maybe paywear. Does anyone know of a good 737-800 paywear.

PMDG has a great a 737 package, only problem you have to by the 737 base package to get the 737 800, however i have heard they are really really good, and you will be happy, dont have the cash flow to by buying aircraft just yet, but I have heard that most payware aircraft have auto installers...

Chris, installing new aircraft that aren't packaged in an installer program isn't all the difficult. Just tedious. I know it can be a bit scary at first when editing configuration files (in this case the aircraft.cfg file). But once you have done it a few times it becomes pretty easy. Just a bit tedious.

Yeah Mark has helped me on a few airports right now have a decent freeware for slc, and one for atl, but I think I am going to change the atl one that mark said doesnt eat as many frame rates, but starting to get the hang of it, there are a few steps you have to muster thru, but its definatly worth it when you see the airport afterwards...

Chris you actually have installed on of the tougher sceneries in the SLC one. Most of the scenery add ons you just copy and pste into your add on scenery go to set up and load it into your add on scenery in the main page of FS and close and reopen FS. Once you have done that just take a look in your add on file and you can see how they are put together. Usually the scenerys will have two folders associated with them. Let me know I will be glad to help you out with any of them.
