Hi Sim. Open up the zip file and read the readme file carefully. That should be all the instruction you need.

enjoy!

Hi Sim; Yes, as Werner said. Then, if you want to be safe, unzip the file to a temp folder and look at how it expands. Look for folders/files that do not already exist in your SDOE directory, then copy/paste to the right place. Example; Unzip the 51b. You may see a Media folder. Then under that a Aircraft folder. You may already have these...look under the temp aircraft folder...if you see a folder called P51b, and you don't have this in your main SDOE install, then copy the P51b folder and paste it to your SDOE aircraft folder. Continue this for all the folders/files in the unzipped temp folder. Sometimes it will only be a file you need to copy.

As you become more familiar with SDOE's file structure ( The Handy Dandy Doc is a big help here ) you will find this nearly as quick and easy as anything else.

Plus, for me, it helps me keep track of what is there and where, in case I ever have to remove something or update something.
