Hey, I'm new to Orbiter Space Flight Sim and have a question. When I've downloaded an addon, to where (wich folder) do i extract it. I have the latest patch/version of Orbier installed. I've downloaded some addons, but they don't start working.

Thx for help :)

Usually the root folder of orbiter. In that case, the ZIP file contains the folders meshes, config, modules, textures, etc. just like the orbiter folder does.

Welcome to this forum, gusber.
The readme file or documentation of each addon should describe exactly how to install that particular addon. So my first advice to try finding a readme.txt or pdf in the addon package.

In general, most addons are installed by extracting it to your main Orbiter folder.
For example, if your orbiter is located in "C:\orbiter", then the addon should be extracted in this folder too.

EDIT, and again someone defeats me in answering speed....
