Yet another newby with download Q - How do I download and manage my models?

[kolarshooter]

Can someone kindly direct me to instructions regarding how to use the downloaded model files?

I download them, unzip them, then...I'm lost. I think I'm not "storing" them in the right file location.

Also, if I try to copy a file to a new folder ("My Favorite #D Planes" or something) the airplane is invisible when I try to use that model from my new folder, although the model works fine if I use the original folder.

I'm sure this is REALLY old stuff for you pros, but I'm brand new here and am anxious to get started.

Thanks for your help!

Unzip them to:- C:Program files>FMS>Models

And if you want to copy them around you need to remember that most planes have several files (e.g. xx.par, xx.geo, xx.bmp, xx.wav, xx_prv.jpg) and they all need to be copied to the same folder. If you miss out the xx_prv.jpg you don't get a preview picture when you're trying to load but the model works normally once loaded.
