When using 7zip, NEVER choose 'Extract Here' because that will extract the files contents and spit out every single individual file within the zip, rather than creating a new, unzipped folder. Also, you don't have to select 'Extract to (whatever)', as selecting 'Extract files...' will essentially do the exact same thing. Just wanted to say that.
Hey Michael, Very nice video. Very helpful. But can i ask you if i follow the exact same instructions you showed by putting the files in the aircraft folder in X-Plane 11 and it doesn't show up in any thumbnail once i get into X-Plane, what do i do then? :-(
Hello Michael, I just viewed your Buying and installing video. I totally agree with you, you get what you paid for. I'm new to X Plane and have previously installed addons aircrafts and never had any issues. However, I purchased the Emirates A380 for X plane 11 and downloaded, placed unzip file to X Plane 11 aircraft folder, I then unzipped the file at this location, all good so far. I launched the game the A380 was available. I then get a message upper left conner " License key not found; place license key inside the directory of the aircraft acf-file". I located the called A388 acf pasted the key and still get the same message. Any suggestions.
Good night, I bought the boeing 727 at the xplane store when I started it, it asked me for the serial number to activate it but I don't know where to find it.
I recently installed a few Aircraft mods, I unzipped them and put them in the Extra aircraft Folder, for some reason, when i start the game, those planes don't appear in the aircraft list. Ive restarted the game multiple times, reinstalled the mods multiple times still nothing seems to work. All of those mods worked for sometime and i even played with them but then suddenly they disappeared. (except the F/A-18E mod which i couldn’t find anywhere after i installed it.) Instead of extra aircraft i even tried extracting them in just the aircraft folder still it didn't work.
I have tried your method for the 757-200 from flight factor for xplane 11 but it does not show up when i load up XPlane 11. I have tried everything as suggested by xfactor and xplane gurus but not working . Can you help please Thanks
Does this method still work? I watched a few videos about how to download free planes from the x plane website, and I followed all of the instructions, but nothing would work... Apparently, the video was outdated, and now you cant even download the free planes!!! (X Plane website) So, I watched your video a few times and here's what I got from it... So basically all you have to do is buy the plane, then it will show up in a folder and then you drag and drop that folder into extra aircraft???? that's kind of like the free method... Also, Does it (The plane) automatically pop up in x plane 11?? I JUST WANT TO KNOW BEFORE I BLOW ALL OF MY BIRTHDAY CASH!!!!!!!!!! Please help me if you know :) Thanks!! ✈🎂
Don't bother. Moderators are rabid little fan boys and really not worth the trouble. You can find good aircraft elsewhere, just use a good search engine. Besides, the release of MSFS 2020 will kill X Plane 11 as it's just a glorified FSX.
I tell you what, if im gonna pay $40-$60 for a fucking game, that says Flight Simulator, i expect it to have fucking planes on it already. Fuck that DLC shit. If youre gonna have DLC that serves a major part in playing the fucking game , in this case air planes in a fucking flying game , then the game itself should be free and the planes should be $60 for 60 planes.
None of my downloaded aircraft showed up on my Steam X-plane 11. Mind you other plug-ins seemed ok. Before anyone goes off and tells me that I'm a klutz and clearly don't know what to do, I'd just like to say that I'm not the only one who has had this issue... just do a google search and it pops up often. The folder is in the correct location, I've tried Aircraft and Extra aircraft. No aircraft install ....paid or free. Well, I wasn't going to let it get the better of me, so after some digging around I found out the problem. For whatever reason, I had 2 instances of Aircraft folder.one was in my D drive where the Xplane Steam files resided and that was where I put in the new aircraft files. With no success. But, on digging around I found another instance of Steam in my Program Files (x86). Putting my new aircraft files in that location did the trick. I've got no idea why I have 2 instances of Steam... never mind at least it works. Thanks Michael... you put me on the right track.
2 issues: Does X-Plane11 have PlaneMaker still available to 'update' and build aircraft? X-Plane.org does NOT support purchases other than purchases through the computer. I can't purchase through the computer because of the hacker IN my computer. Malware software does not show or do away with this hackers' malware. (If it 'could" isolate it, by the time you get your computer shut down, his/her malware is right back on your machine.) I know, because he nailed me again after I had my machine completely de-gauzed and all software re-installed. I'm not EVER taking a chance with computer purchases again. I guess if I can't purchase X-Plane11, I won't. There doesn't seem to be a work-around on this.
Can someone help me out, I got the toliss a319 and I cant find any forum post which helps me. I contacted toliss and xplane and no reply, if you think u can help ask for my discord and ill send you more details and my log.txt. Please someone help, I dont wanna lose £50 on something which is probably a small problem
Hello, I also have the ToLiss A319. There are more than 1 file you have to unzip which is through the clicking of your download. Once you get to the part of all the liveries showing then click back. It should look like ToLiss319 or something and it should show up. If I wasn't clear please let me know.
@@TheTripReporter It turned out to be an even simpler problem, I heard from somewhere that you have to put the plugin folder into the plugins on xplane 11 and not just in the Aircraft folder, so that was the problem, the plugins kept duplicating.
OF COURSE the FREE planes are CRAP and I will also tell you why, MONEY MONEY and MONEY because THAT is what X PLANE IS ESSENTIALLY ABOUT and the prices are EXPENSIVE!!! Give me my MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIM

I play my x plane on my android phone. Is there a way to purchase and install aircraft on my phone?
I downloaded three planes that I bought and still cant find them in xplane menu.
Sams
If you buy a plane will it work with the next version?
I've tried to go on this website but it appears that it no longer exists
Thank you. Clear instructions.
I see that you play world of tanks! One of my favorite games
I recently installed a few Aircraft mods, I unzipped them and put them in the Extra aircraft Folder, for some reason, when i start the game, those planes don't appear in the aircraft list. Ive restarted the game multiple times, reinstalled the mods multiple times still nothing seems to work.

I did this for some aircraft, but it’s still not working. Help?
Wait. So once you download it will show up in X plane?

Hello Michael
Why are they so expensive?
Because the people who made them worked hard to model, animate, and code the aircraft and want money for what they made. I don't see the problem
Gordo ok
Gordo yeah i know its a lot of work but 90$ seems a little bit too much for one plane
@@pizza_parker9689 try making JUST ONE little detail like one of those aircraft, you will see how hard it is. I think that is a reasonable price.
I have winrar installed on my computer can i still add planes?
Do these priced planes also work in VR ?
yes. I used the zibo mod in VR before. so that means all custom installed planes should work in vr.
I tried to go on Xplane.org but it doesn't work. It's like it doesn't exist.
Don't bother.

Besides, the release of MSFS 2020 will kill X Plane 11 as it's just a glorified FSX.
For some reason even though I do it all right I cannot get any plugins or addon aircraft to work, anyone know a solution?
what is a 530? 5:39

how do you get x-15
Is there a better Cessna 172 available than the one that comes with XP11?
You really don't know a thing called search do you, there are literally 2 better c172s avail be at or store
@@user-ld6is4ni3d - well, then tell me what they are. Which C172 would you choose? I would be grateful for your opinion.
@@user-ld6is4ni3d - Please, I am still asking, which do you think is better?
i tryed this and apparently i dont have an xplane folder
They suspend my login. I don't know why? I did purchased to download x-plane 11, but I did not purchased any aircraft.
Where is the Mac folder?
can you give me a link?
Weird. I cant find my X-Plane 11 file
i download my planes for free cause i downloaded a plane for 38$ and then i downloaded the same plane for free and it worked just like the 38$ one
i just pirated alot of my planes for free, i came to have fun in a flight simulator and not gonna spend 30$ on a plane that ill only use for 2 hours
What do I do when it says activation code
You doxed your self
unless its a crap plane with an extravagant price .. say a $5 plane which the designers got up for $30..
it easy to buy plane in the US but in other country is like hell
Why it's higher in price?
Does anyone know: Is there a refund policy for not incompatible files bough at x-plane.org?
Good luck.
Bunch of crooks IMO.
how to i open a file in x plane

So go 737 is amazing and as good as quite a lot of payware
What I realized without the default 737 the zibo project would not have been possible
With virus? Are x-plane.org with virus or root?
No
Ok
13mins!?
what about it ?
