September 16, 20223 yr Hello Pilots.......I purchased my first mod (BN-2 islander) for msfs 2020 today and I am having trouble installing it it in msfs. I downloaded it from Blackbox and I unzipped the file and it does not have an installer. I tried copying the file and dropped it into the MSFS and no luck, aircraft was not in my hanger? I did some more research and said mods must go into the community folder. Next i googled "community folder msfs 2020" I found the community folder so I dropped the BN-2 file in that folder then opened up msfs 2020 again and looked in the hanger and still it wasn't there? I know I'm probably miss several steps on how to install this mod in msfs. Could someone help me and just show the steps that I need to take to install this AC into the simulator? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. Regards Lamar Wright
September 16, 20223 yr Err.. It does have an installer. Did you unzip and run it? You will need your licence key. Edited September 16, 20223 yr by jarmstro
September 16, 20223 yr Uh, yes it has installer. If you did download the file, it is an .exe, which is the installer. You must have downloaded a wrong file.

September 16, 20223 yr You should get a download link from an email BlackBox sends you. I've had several updates to the BN2 and not one of them was a zip file. Current filename is "BlackBox_Britten_Norman_BN2_Islander_2020_Setup[v2.1.2].exe" (252.1MB) Look thru your email spam and/or junk folder if it's not in your inbox. -J 13700KF | RTX 4090 @ 1440 | 64GB DDR5 | 2 x 1TB SSDs | 1TB M.2 NVMe
September 16, 20223 yr Author Thanks all... when the installer asks "Install 2020 BN-2 islander to:" where should I tell it to install? Regards Lamar Wright

It should be directed to your MSFS "community" folder. Make sure you know where it is Edited September 16, 20223 yr by jimcarrel Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90GHz (8 cores) Hyper on, Evga RTX 3060 12 Gig, 32 GB ram, Windows 11, P3D v6, and MSFS 2020 and a couple of SSD's
