I have followed the instructions about how to get set up initially and with some prior help from some one here managed to get it all working.
After doing so in fact I installed the Spitfire mod - version 1 and it showed up in my quick mission list and works normally.
But subsequently all other aircraft mods are not showing up - this is mystifying as they are mainly mods that involve an exe installer - and YES I confirmed that they were pointed at my game directory!
Also I have downloaded some other mods that apparently have to go into the mods folder. Which I have done. Some appear to work - like new smoke trails etc BUT some simply do not including some planes that seem to be installed in this manner - eg the PBY Catalina and the Panther F9. So in short I now have a few mods working as advertised and some that just do not even though I think I have done the right thing - I am a newbie though and most mods unfortunately do not bother with a readme file for some reason so I may be doing the wrong thing HELP please.
PS and incidentally I also confirmed that there is only one containing folder "above" the mod files when I placed it in the mods folder - I am aware that some file compressors create additional ones that can stuff up the directory path in situations like this.
