Then you'll have the ptp file.ok Ive tried winzip the one I havnt tried yet and it still using a word document, Is my computer outdated? Joe Barton

October 31, 201114 yr still not working, Im using the evaluated version as I cannot buy the full versionstill a word documentThat's the ptp file in the zip. Just click extract and it will pull the ptp out of the zip file for you. Then go to livery manager & when you go to add the livery just browse to wherever winzip put that ptp.

October 31, 201114 yr Somehow zip files have been associated with the Microsoft Word application on your PC. When you click on a zip file they should open in a Windows Explorer folder, not Microsoft Word.The easiest way to resolve this is to download and install WinRAR from this link: http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar401.exe. WinRAR is an extremely popular, small and harmless utility that can extract the contents of zip files.During the installation, allow it to associate .zip files with the program, this means that it will open zip files instead of Microsoft Word.You will notice the icon for the downloaded livery files will now be a stack of books instead of the MS Word icon. Double click on the livery file and drag the .ptp file from the archive to the desktop.You can now use the PMDG livery manager to browse to your desktop and select the .ptp file.You can delete the .ptp file from your desktop once it has been installed (but keep the downloaded livery file in case you wish to re-install it again later.Hope this helps!PS. It might help if you display file name extensions on your PC, follow this article: http://windows.micro...name-extensions Have you tried these instructions from my original post (6th October)?

November 20, 201114 yr Author ok that did not work but I discovered with the PMDG 747x (I recently started flying it) that the add on files that they use are the ones Im ment to get with the NGX. Something is very peculiar Joe Barton
