ktickner6767 Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 Hi guys, I'm new to installing add-on aircraft for the Third Wire series of flight sims. I downloaded an aircraft but it is in a format I have never seen before. It has a ".rar" file extension. Windows XP does not recognize this file extension and asks to find a program on the internet to open it. I conducted a quick search on the internet for a program that would recognize this kind of file but, everything I found was commercial software that required a purchase. Is there honestly no piece of free software out there that can open this file so I can install it? Quote
FastCargo Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 7-zip will open and extract RAR files just fine...and it's freeware. http://www.7-zip.org/ FastCargo Quote

+DoctorQuest Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 7-zip has the advantage of also supporting 7z files which is a format used by some other sites for Thirdwire addons. Go with it and you've got all the bases covered. Quote
