When you click on a zip file from the Internet, choose <Open> instead of <Save>. Once open by WinZip, choose to [Extract] the files to the C:\ Program Files\ FMS\ Model directory. That should do it. -- ggunners

right click on the zip folder...then the extract options comes up


when you save it...look at the path where you sent it .lol
you know..that other window that pops up and ask ya.
is it okay ??? is it okay for window to send this file to here ?
Maybe you sent it my favorite, picture, documents
or into your media player..lol

Do another download...you'll see the last path of how it
was set or sent to.

make a folder for all your FMS zips.lol
make sub folders for different type...you won't regret it later on.lol


you don't need to extract it into fms

if you have the zip file just open it.

have a new folder waiting

do a right click, high light and just copy all the files into the new folder.
Assign it a name of course.

This way all of your files will be sorted..so later on you don't
have to look everywhere. you can even store in an external drive.

anyways, when you're in FMS..click load model

do level up or back yourself out to desktop, documents ,drive
whereever your new folder is at..
you know...that little folder (symbol)and level up arrow on the right side.
Or just click on the down arrow. Then you'll see a table(folder) path.
Example C drive..user...(name)..desktop

software can't read it if it's zip up..lol

whatever you do.. don't go into the windows file, if you're not familar

when i click it all it brings up is the download folder when i right click it doesnt bring up anything like that

[smcxx66]

if you have the zip file downloaded already.

so what you're saying is ..you have zip folder already.
when you left click (open it), there's no files in there.

right click

you know...a window table comes up
You can create short cut, delete it, rename it, open it, send to,
extract all....
