Just copy the files in the manual_install directory where you want and set up the appropriate entry in EXE.xml* Usage- Run FSX. If no errors occured during installtion, you should see a securitywarning message. Answer yes (it will be displayed only the first launch)- A new menu entry in "Addons" has been added. To create a thumbnail for an aircraft,select this aircraft, change view to accomodate a nice screenshot and clickon this menu entry. The "all textures" options will generate thumbnails for all repaints of thecurrent aircraft.
