What is the purpose of .rar files in flightsim.to downloads? - Facebook

Some users report that anti-virus software or browser security settings may occasionally block .rar downloads from sites like Flightsim.to.

: Do not place the .rar file directly into your game folder, as the simulator cannot read compressed archives. Use a tool like 7-Zip or WinRAR to extract the contents.

: Drag and drop that specific root folder into your simulator's Community folder.

Tip: Sometimes developers "double-pack" folders. If you see another folder inside with the exact same name, that inner folder is usually the one you need.
