I am new to DCS and even newer to installing mods. I want to leave a note in here for any other person that might stumble across this great mod and not be 100% sure how to install it. As instructed, I went into "\Users\UserName\Saved Games\DCS" to install. In my case, I had to create a "Mods" directory and then an "aircraft" sub-directory. Once in that sub-directory, I expanded the .7z file. Crucially, the files all extracted directly into the aircraft folder. I started DCS and couldn't figure out how to check out the aircraft. I tried the Encyclopedia and the Mission Editor. I couldn't see the planes in either one. After trying a number of different things, I decided to create a "Military Aircraft Mod" folder inside the "aircraft" folder and then placed all of the extracted files into that folder. Presto! The airplanes now show up in the Mission Editor. So, my lesson is that it seems like the program expects to find the mods in their own folder within the folder referencing the type of mod being installed (aircraft in this case). This may well be self-evident to everyone else, but it wasn't to me, so hopefully this helps someone else. Thanks, by the way, for a great mod!
