In your personal documents folder there should be a SkyDemon folder. Within that, there should be an Aircraft folder. Just create it if it's not there. Save your aircraft in that folder, ensuring your browser does not change the file extension (it should be .aircraft).

When I rigt cick on the attachment it says 'save target as' etc and then it opens the aircraft folder. When I try to save it all it comes up with in the drop down menue is 'all fies' or XML I don't know where the 'file' 'view' 'properties' are located

Select Folder and Search options A window with 3 tabs will open. Select View About half way down you will see Hide extensions for known file types Click the box to remove the tick, then Apply - bottom right followed by OK - bottom left to close the window. When you re-open the SD folder then Aircraft folder, you will see the aircraft type followed by the extension e.g. Cessna.xxx Right click this and select Rename. Change .xxx to .aircraft Windows will warn you about changing the file extension. Click to disregard the warning Hope this is of some help Regards Eddie
