Ok then, idk, I will try to try all the possibilities, excepting uninstalling the game.

If this doesn't work, you can delete some essential folders, and re-download them. That way, you won't have to delete custom scenery, aircraft etc.

Are you sure that you don't accidentally have a second installation of x-plane at another location? You can check from where steam will load it by right clicking on x-plane 11 in the game list, selecting properties, and press "browse local files" in the "local files" tab of the new window.

If this will also open up the x-plane installation on drive D, maybe for some reason x-plane cannot access the new folder due to rights mangement for example or other things up to a corrupt file system might cause this.

Edit
But before going down that route, you could maybe verify that x-plane is (not?) able to find aircrafts by simply copying one of the original aircraft folders and pasting it for example as "Aerolite 103 - Copy". If x-plane 11 is able to detect the aircrafts it should show the copied one twice in the list. If not I think it might be something deeper system related as stated before.

(Original lines:
But before going down that route you should maybe just try to install a different downloaded aircraft (maybe not one of the airbus from that YouTube guy) for testing the process.)

Are the A320 and A330 the ones from Flight Factor? Did you buy the aircraft or have you downloaded skins thinking you have downloaded a plane?

Flight Factor did not make an A330, so presumeably you mean JarDesign. I think he has the ones by riviere. If he has gone and downloaded liveries, I'll gently cry myself to sleep.

I just checked and found the A330 by riviere you mentioned, it installed fine for me with no errors and works fine in game.

It sounds like the OP is not performing the unzip/unpack properly.

There have been a rash of people here (probably due to the sale) that don't seem to understand how to do the basic tasks that more experienced users take for granted.

Same as non-Steam version. Create a new folder in your X-Plane 11\Aircraft folder. I named mine Additional Aircraft. Then just put the base aircraft folder in there for each aircraft.

Where do you find that folder? I am having trouble finding it with the steam version.

Look in

Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X-Plane 11\Aircraft

There will be a set of folders there.

I prefer to use the "Heavy Metal" folder for larger commercial aircraft so if I am about to install a new aircraft called A320Neo I create a folder called...

Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X-Plane 11\Aircraft\Heavy Metal\A320Neo

I then unpack the files from the Zip file or Archive into that folder at a root level retaining folder structures.

When I look inside this folder I will see things like

Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X-Plane 11\Aircraft\Heavy Metal\A320Neo\objects
Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X-Plane 11\Aircraft\Heavy Metal\A320Neo\liveries
Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X-Plane 11\Aircraft\Heavy Metal\A320Neo\sounds
Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X-Plane 11\Aircraft\Heavy Metal\A320Neo\plugins

and other folders and files.

I have the same issue.

I want to install the Pilatus PC-7 from XFPR website on X-plane 11 but it seems it does not work.
Followed every step discussed above. Nothing helps.

Is it not compatible with the current version of X-Plane 11 or what?

So, first I tried the A320 NEO from xplane.org, after the A330 NEO, and finally I saw on the tutorial the A380 that worked for that guy, and still none of them are working, I can send you the link if it helps you

Many thans for your effort and help !

Captain Joe, I have just unzipped and installed the A320 NEO plane without any problems.
Where I think you may be having issues is with your folder structure when you unzip the downloaded file.

1.When you unzip the A320neo.zip file, it may unzip with the following directory structure
(\A320neo\A320neo) with the files being in the 2nd A320neo folder (sub folder).

2. Copy only the 2nd A320neo folder with the folders (airfoils, cockpit_3D etc) and included .acf .obj .png etc files to your Steam Aircraft folder (\Steam\steamapps\common\X-Plane 11\Aircraft) so it now looks like \Steam\steamapps\common\X-Plane 11\Aircraft\A320neo.
