Geez, I used to know this one, but there is a specific file that you copy and paste into your flight sim aircraft profiles. Do a search on the internet and you will find what I am talking about. It is a little tedious to do, but you quickly learn a quick and dirty method to daisy chain it together.

BTW, do you work for Eclipse? (it looks like an Eclipse in your avatar)

i dont work for Eclipse but i saw the plane at a Corporate Aviation Fair last year in Dallas,TX.

Im doing searchs on google but just cant find how to add it on, it only goves you links to different websites to download from, and in wikipedia it says airplanes can be added to FS, but it doesnt say how, it says only that it also can be done with the Notepad

any other info

Did the file come as a zip? If so you may be able to unzip it right to the Microsoft FSX directory.
Also, there is usually a read-me file that comes along, that should also give you the directions. If none of that is an option you need to open the file with the downloaded plane, as well as the opening the FS folder. Then take the contents of each folder (usually there are effects, sounds, and simobjects). Take the files out of each folder from the download, and drag and drop it into the folder from FS that has the same name. The Simobjects folder should contain another folder most likely called Boeing 737-300 or something like that, and move that folder to the Airplanes folder in the Simobjects folder in FSX. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me.
