crewcheif Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I have been playing SF/WOV and so on, for some time. Finally bought SF2 a while back and just got around to adding new aircraft from the site. I have found the great guide put out by EricJ on adding downloaded aircraft, but for the life of me I can't even find the right tool to open the extracted files once I have downloaded them. i have windows 7 64bit and the 7zip extractor doesnt seem to be working for me. Sorry for the "new guy" question but everyone has to start somewhere. thanks gents. this is what i get when i try.... attached screen shot

+Fubar512 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Are you getting that error with all the 7z files that you've downloaded, or just a few of them?
crewcheif Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 Are you getting that error with all the 7z files that you've downloaded, or just a few of them? all of them. I'll try the link above. Thanks for the help.
crewcheif Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 I have tried the cat extractor before and it doesn't even recognize that there is a compressed file. i must be doing something wrong. The problem is i cant open the compressed files after I have downloaded them.
+Fubar512 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I'll try the link above. Thanks for the help. That's an extraction tool for files contained within the Thirdwire catalog (*.cat) files. He misunderstood your question. Getting back to your issue with 7zip, are you using the 9.20 release? Try this link: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z920-x64.msi Edited January 10, 2012 by Fubar512
+JonathanRL Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Winrar can also handle 7zip files pretty good. http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
crewcheif Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 I downloaded Winrar and it seems to be working now. Thanks for the great and timely help gents.
