I'm looking for a freeware E-6 Mercury (aka TACAMO II). I would appreciate some assistance.

I tried to enter a set of textures into the CFG file, but it says "Access Denied" when I try to save the file. It's really weird because I am the administrator on my computer. Any ideas?

Try moving the Aircraft.cfg file to your Desktop before editing it. Then paste it back again.

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried it and I can save the file. The airplane doesn't show up in the aircraft lists though. GRRR!!!

I just ended up deleting all the files and starting over. Works fine, and I much appreciate the snippet from the CFG file. Thanks a billion.
