I'm a very new newbie, so if this is posted somewhere please forgive my ignorance. I have down loaded aircraft that I would like use in flightplans but I don't know how. I know how to use 'ttool202', but I can't seem to incorporate the new planes.
Thanks, Jim

Open the aircraft.cfg file using Notepad; look at (or copy) what's written after title=; e.g., title=Emerald Harbor Air Tri-Motor
Open aircraft.txt using Notepad (after decompiling with TTools). Add a line using numbered sequence; i.e.,
AC#1234,95,"Emerald Harbor Air Tri-Motor"
the speed ,95, can be obtained from the perfomance line in the aircfart.cfg file:
performance="Maximum Speed\n130 mph 113 kts 209 km/hr\n\n Cruise Speed\n110 mph 96 kts
Use Save in Notepad when completed
hope this helps; works for me
