May I ask for help here?

He seems to be getting PHP files though, which are web pages, rather than RAR files. Anyway, it doesn't matter if we give too much advice, he can sift through it all when he gets back :-).

Heh, ya, I didn't have much to offer (not much of a file expert at all) but figured I would post the mistakes I made at first.
Likely embedded in there is my desire to find out I am not the only one that made such a silly mistake

Wow! You guys/gals (?) are every bit as responsive and willing to help as any flight sim forum!

I can't say "Thanks" often enough. I believe my problem was this stupid freeware download manager, which was doing something weird to the downloads. Once I deleted that piece of trash (I spit on it before I deleted it, btw), all is well. I've got the JSGME software, and have successfully imported a mod into it.

You all appear to be a great group, and I am really glad to be here! Now, how do I get the sub off the ground?

Just as a bit of a FYI, there is an official patch coming out on the 12th of this month that may break some mods. Throw on a few (moralemod is a must) but I would not get too carried away with them at this point.

Well, people have been having success with a sort of reverse blast off method.

When I came back to subsims a year after SH4 was released (first subsim I added mods to), I went to install a mod and I was so eager to get something working that I just didn't read any instructions properly and got really frustrated.

Which sim do I fly? Hard to say with any certainty, actually. This sort of gives you an idea:

Actually, I favor FS9, but also FSX.
