AirEd and Aircraft Listings

Postby Travis » Thu Jan 12, 2006 4:29 am

Okay, I KNOW this has been posted before at some point, but I couldn't figure out how to find it using the search engine.

Using AirEd, isn't there a way to make the aircraft disappear from the listing in FS, so that my list isn't so dang cluttered, but I still have them as AI?

Line 105, 'aircraft type=0', change to '=2'.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

Dave - that changes the aircraft type from "normal" to "AI", but wouldn't AirEd still list the aircraft in its listing?

Basically, I believe that AirEd, and simliar programs, take the information from the aircraf.tcfg or *.air file to populate their lists, so you'll have all the models in the "AIRCRAFT" folder in the listing.

I am not aware of a "do not display AI models" check box in AirEd or other similar programs.

Felix,

...make the aircraft disappear from the listing in FS


My interpretation of Locke's ?? was how to remove AI aircraft from the 'Select Aircraft' list in FS.

I dont know that 'Aired' presents a list (except for the 'recent' list under the 'file' menu). You 'browse' from an Explorer window to open an .air file.

Microsoft FSEdit displays a listing of all aircraft in the 'aircraft' folder, taken from the 'Title=' entry, including ai.

Again, I've only been (basically) working with CFS1 but, when I left the "name=" blank (no, don't put in the word blank or that will be the aircraft's name ::) ) in the aircraft.cfg, it had no name to list.
