What happened to the Aircraft folder?

Postby Felix/FFDS » Thu Oct 12, 2006 7:05 am

Yeah, yeah, it's now the SimObject\Airplanes folder.

Unfortunately, many FS9 aircraft with autoinstallers are set for the Aircraft folder...

so...?

ADD IT IN!

[Main]
User Objects=Airplane, Helicopter
SimObjectPaths.0=SimObjects\Airplanes
SimObjectPaths.1=SimObjects\Rotorcraft
SimObjectPaths.2=SimObjects\GroundVehicles
SimObjectPaths.3=SimObjects\Boats
SimObjectPaths.4=SimObjects\Animals
SimObjectPaths.5=SimObjects\Misc
SimObjectPaths.6=Aircraft

From my point of view, for a developer, this creates an additional folder to have one's "test" builds

For that matter, you can create additional folders - Props, Jets, Military,

I take it the entries you mention are in the Registry? I didn't find (yet) any place in the Registry where the items could be entered, please more specificity? Thanks!

BTW, taking a cue from Felix, I created a separate folder for my AI aircraft so they wouldn't be cluttering up my Airplanes folder...  ;)

[MAIN]
Location=0,0,1360,768,\\.\DISPLAY1
User Objects=Airplane, Helicopter
SimObjectPaths.0=SimObjects\Airplanes
SimObjectPaths.1=SimObjects\Rotorcraft
SimObjectPaths.2=SimObjects\GroundVehicles
SimObjectPaths.3=SimObjects\Boats
SimObjectPaths.4=SimObjects\Animals
SimObjectPaths.5=SimObjects\Misc
SimObjectPaths.6=Aircraft
SimObjectPaths.7=SimObjects\AI Airplanes

Here's my "Main"section that I've been using for a couple of years. Note that
"SimObject" folders can reside ANYWHERE as long as the path is defined here.
Plus, if you have no need for "Animals", all you need to do is comment out that
entry, as I have.

Code: Select all
[Main]
User Objects=Airplane, Helicopter
SimObjectPaths.0=SimObjects\Airplanes
SimObjectPaths.1=SimObjects\Rotorcraft
SimObjectPaths.2=SimObjects\GroundVehicles
SimObjectPaths.3=SimObjects\Boats
//SimObjectPaths.4=SimObjects\Animals
SimObjectPaths.4=SimObjects\Misc
SimObjectPaths.5=SimObjects\Aircraft
SimObjectPaths.6=M:\FSX AI Aircraft
SimObjectPaths.7=M:\FSX Military AI
SimObjectPaths.8=I:\FSX Military Aircraft
SimobjectPaths.9=I:\FSX A6 Aircraft
SimObjectPaths.10=SimObjects\Propliner Aircraft
SimObjectPaths.11=ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAI_AIRCRAFT
