I am having trouble installing XSquawkBox in X-Plane. I am a Mac User and kind of new to it, I don't know where to install the plugin files. I tried copying it to a couple of different places and when I start X-Plane there is nothing in the plugin admin. Can someone try to give me step by step instructions on how to install the files needed.

 

Thanks

Michael

After you download, you should get two subfolders within that main download - "Docs" and "for plugins folder". Open the "for plugins folder" and you'll find "XSquawkbox Resources" and "XSquawkbox_VATSIM.xpl". Place those two into the directory: X-Plane 9/Resources/plugins

 

Hope that helps.

It's pretty self-explanatory.

 

You install it, connect to VATSIM using the "Connect" menu item and your VATSIM credentials. Check out the docomeentation that comes in the download and then let us know if you still have questions.

Hello,

 

Yes I got two folders. But I should copy X-Plane/resources folder. Where can I find this folder? I can't install xsquawkbox.

Copy the CONTENTS of the "for plugins folder" folder to your X-plane/Resources/plugins directory.
