Google Chrome, Free Download Manager and FlightSim Store

How do you download from FlightSim Store using the FDM and Google Chrome? All I'm getting downloaded is the login.php or download.php (if I give my FSS uid & pwd for FDM). Anyone done it?

Often the download manager will come with a browser plugin that intercepts the download. Such is the case with the FlashGet plugin for Firefox which when prompted to Open, Save etc. provides another option to download using your chosen download manager. If you don't find a way to get it to work submit a ticket with FSS and we'll get you direct links to your Orbx downloads.

Thank you. I used to use FlashGet, but it always felt a little "fishy". I thought FDM would automatically capture downloads just like FG, but alas, it don't. However, it was easy to enable from Settings | Monitoring. The required Google Plugins directory did not exist so I had to create it manually first.

For W7:

1) Create Google Chrome Plugins directory (if not already there)

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\Plugins

2) Enable Monitoring for FDM

Settings/Options | Monitoring | Google Chrome (I don't have english GUI so could be Settings or Options or ...)

Seems to work now. Thanks again for giving the missing hint.
