This has got to seem like the dumbest question, but- How do I add new aircraft? Where is that "air.ini" file located?
I,ve downloaded and installed the big "unified installer" package thing (and the results are amazing), but I would like to add an additional airplane or two, and can't figure out how. I downloaded and installed the "aircraft installer 3.08", but the next step given in the instructions here is to simply "install the aircraft".... So, how? I`ve got a compressed folder containing an airplane, but I can't find an executable to activate to "install"it, anywhere in the game folder or any of it's subfolders. I've copied the airplane's folder to the "mods" folder of the game, where all the other "new" aircraft seem to be, but it doesn't appear in the game that way, apparently. I see some mention about an "air.ini" file that some data needs to be added to, and I have such a file with the new airplane I'm trying to install, but where do I put it in the game folder?

H hoddyman!

Here is what you need, short and compact informations:

As you see, my English isn't the best, therefore it would take me hours
to find the right words and phrases to explain the procedure of installing planes.

However, there are 4 very useful pages with hints from Cirx,
please read them carefully, they are the best explanations I saw until now.

CirxTIPS: the AC_INSTALLER & BUTTONS file de-mystified:
(The link is inoperative)

CirxTIPS: How to customize and organize your air.ini:
viewtopic.php?t=16708

CirxTIPS: the 60% Crash Troubleshooter:
(The link is inoperative)

CirxTIPS: the IDIOT's guide to modding your Il2 Game:
(The link is inoperative)

When you have understood this, you will have no problems
with installations in future...
