Unsure of Appropriate Forum for Freeware Question

Featured Replies

I have a question about a freeware aircraft I downloaded from the AVSIM library, but I'm not sure where to post it. I notice a lot of freeware support forums, but they seem to be for specific types or brands of freeware, and my question comes more under "Miscellaneous Freeware" or "Other Freeware", for which there does not appear to be a forum.

 

Essentially, I downloaded the Boeing 717-200 by David Robles, and can't get the SFX panel to work. The switches are operational, but no sound plays, and when I mouse over them, I get "File Not Found", even though I do have the required sound files and have installed them in the main "Sound" folder.

 

So where specifically can I ask about this, please? Many thanks in advance for your help.

The readme file or other documentation that came with the files should have an email address or website to contact the author.  This is required for any file uploaded to AVSIM.

 

Best wishes.

If it is freeware for FSX, ask in the FSX Forum.  If it is freeware for P3D, ask in the P3D Forum, etc.
