Sorry, I have no idea about installing add-on aircraft. It sounds like it is one intended for FS2004 not FSX. Either way, best to ask at Simviation.com I would have thought.

ps it also says i've got a later version of fsuipc, i think i have version 4.26

Sorry, what says what where? How is this related to the above? Obviously 4.26 is later than any previous version, as I only published it today!

get a version that does a proper install

if at first install you m(*&%d up the directories

then perhaps there are gauges missing or wrong directories, or bad tree dirs, or alias links within your aircraft folder not pointing correctly.

thats when FSx crashes

you should/could research how exactly the plane relates to all its files and sub directories, when you've done this ones, comes in handy with later problems

first thing I do with a new plane is resize all panels to my liking, but it takes a while before you know what does what.
