FS9.cfg question

While tweaking my cfg I noticed a section that I had previously not noticed, and wondered if anyone knew what it was for:
[AIRtoCONTAINER]
SIM1=Cessna Skylane 182R RG
SIM2=Learjet 45
SIM3=Schweizer 2-32 Sailplane
SIM4=Sopwith Camel
SIM5=Extra 300S
SIM6=Boeing 737-400
The weird thing is the Sopwith Camel. I didn't know there was one in the game, and I haven't added one, yet, and this is a 100% clean install of the OS & the sim.

The fs9.cfg is a Magical Place where all sorts of strange things happen, often without your knowledge, or control....

...!
Mine sometimes Hoovers my carpet for me, when in Virtual Mode...
...which is nice...

- just like the FS2000.exe and FS2002.exe files you see in the main FS9 folder.

Thanks for the info !! I sure do miss Paul Harvey -
Any ideas about the Sopworth Camel entry ?
[AIRtoCONTAINER]
SIM1=Cessna Skylane 182R RG
SIM2=Learjet 45
SIM3=Schweizer 2-32 Sailplane
SIM4=Sopwith Camel
SIM5=Extra 300S
SIM6=Boeing 737-400
Specifically what the [AIRtoCONTAINER] label indicates? :-?

Mr. Harvey's demise means there will be many, many stories for which we will not hear the rest of. But that aside, what button do you press to reprieve the old leftover Sopwith Camel?

The Sopwith Camel was a default FS2002 aircraft but I think you will also find a similar one available for download on major sites.
Otherwise, if you look around, you can pick up FS2002 cheap and have available all of them for under $10 USD.

If anyone is still seeking a freeware Camel I just discovered several at Flightsim.com - used Dave Eckert as the search criteria.
This just one example:
Name: camel04.zip Size: 6,398,526 Date: 09-08-2005 Downloads: 8,898
FS2004 Sopwith Camel. Model includes virtual cockpit, rotary type engine, smoking engine and three texture choices. Model by David Eckert, FDE by Jerry Beckwith. Additional textures by John Terrell. Panel, gauges and sound by Microsoft.
Happy Flying!
