I'm trying to make the default fishing boats pilotable, I pasted a panel and sound into the folder, as well as a .air file and I edited the .cfg. It comes up in my aircraft folder, but it gives me an error message and closes FSX. I don't have internet on my XP, if that matters. Please help!

Hi welcome to SimV! Ha! your username is funny. I like it. Now with the boat, the air file should be for a boat. Where did you get the air file? It doesn't have to be from a boat, but it would help the boat not to take off!

Thanks. My username is the only one that hadn't been used yet. It seems to be in a weird code that I don't know how to edit. I just took it from a navy ship I had. Does it have to be FOR the boat specifically? Thanks For the help.

Does the error just say "FSX has encountered an error and will shut down"?

You might try the .air file from Deltasim's FSX Sirocco GTX2, and sub parts of the Sirocco's .cfg file, too.  It's been my experience that the .cfg can take a lot of tweaking before an AI boat can be made pilotable.

Which AI boat are you converting?

In the default boat folder, it is labled as fishin_boat_01.
Thanks, I will keep editing the .cfg. If you can do it for me, that would be incredible. Thanks!
