Running Win11; I just did a fresh install on a separate 1TB drive. When I look at the Airplane folders under "SimObjects", I see, along with the other a/c type, a DeHavilland Dash 8-100, Grumman Goose, Maule M7, and an MD83. Why is it that none of these aircraft appear under my aircraft selection menu when I start FSX? What did I miss? Dan

Morning all, If this is a repeat issue, please provide me the link to the older message. Here's the deal; I'm running Win11 and FSX (just don't know yet about updating to MSFS2020. I don't like the idea of having to be connected in order to run FS... a topic for another time...) I've installed FSX and all of its associated updates on a separate 1TB drive, so the file is easier to look at. I recently downloaded a DHC6-Vistaliner and XC182 aircraft package to add to my fleet. (I mention both files because the issue is the same with both. Therefore, it doesn't seem to be a file specific issue.) When I install the packages, the "mechanics" install fine. The only problem is that both aircraft show up with no textures. When I go outside, both of them are the "primer gray" aircraft. Is there some special place in the folders that I need to install the textures for them to show up? Thanks, Dan
