What does "VT" mean? What do I have to download in order to go BELOW the clouds and land on the Earth's surface?

Dear Unfound...

1) Welcome

2) A quick use of the SEARCH function above will often answer most new users questions (and, more importantly, avoid filling the forum with repetitive posts that dilute the ability to find information)

2a) Don't sweat Number 2 - we've all posted before we searched at one time in our life

3) As part of Number 1, I did the search for you. Enjoy:

So...Can I just unzip the addon, in the appropriate folder, or do I have to manhandle some code?

Unfortunately, that depends on the addon. It's a case by case basis. Trial and error works best. Then, if you have a specific problem/question - post it.

Some addons come complete with everything you need, in the folders and sub-folders you need them in. Some are just the graphics files themselves and you need to package them yourself.

Which would probably entail taking a look at this:

for example mine are just the images . There is a small text file that is neaded but the same file can be reused with only very minor changes .also the install dir can change ,depending on your likes so i leave that up to the user

so do some reading and take your time and after you get the first one working you will say to your self "man that was easy"
