windquest Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 If you are using down load them all (Firefox) your zip file will be where ever you directed your downloads to go. Move the file to where every you are keeping ORBX and unpack the zip file in a directory of your choice. (DO NOT use the windows utility, but winzip or something like it) Then run the .exe file and it will find your installation of FSX or P3D. As a matter of course, I keep a "scenery ORBX directory on the sim drive. I keep the zip file and the unpacked file in the same location...easy to find that way. Let us know if you still have problems. The important points are always use a download manager and never unzip with the windows utility... Regards, Henry downloadthemall is a plug in for firefox, it must be installed for it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
