A friend of mine and I both have this plane. We can't get it to show in FSX or P3D I unzip it and I get an exe file and a readme file I cannot read.

Where do I install this exe file so fsx or p3d can see it and run it? Bob

OK firstly you should be able to read the readme file. It is an .mht file which means that it can be read by IExplorer or Edge. Just double click on it.

I can't remember correctly whether or not it will automatically select the correct place to install for FSX as it is an FS( package. What you have to do is install it anywhere you like, a temp location, and then manually transfer the folders across to your FSX location so that there are in the same location as your other FSX AI aircraft.
You will also need to convert the traffic file from FS9 format to FSX format or while your C-17s will appear nothing else will.

If you download the FSX conversion guide from https://militaryaiworks.com/download-ha ... y/91-tools then that will walk you through any conversion steps that you might need.

will try that and report back
