In order to get all the individual textures for your add-on planes, you will manually have to go in and manually change the ui_tags in the .cfg file.

This original entry starts out like this...

[fltsim.4]
title=Piper PA22 Tripacer Amphibian Cargo Weathered
sim=pa22

will need to end up looking something like this:

prop_anim_ratio=0.31

Note the elimination of the

ui_variation=

tag and the creation of the

ui_createdby=Bill Lyons
ui_typerole="Single Engine Float Plane"

If you do not do this, you will only get the first variation of the plane in the package.

I'm not quite sure what you are on about, i can pefectly fine see all of the individual variations of the helicopters and planes in FSX.

Perhaps I should have said textures.  ;)

Many planes have the same ui_types while using the ui_variation tag to differentiate between the different models.

For instance, the Bill Lyons planes shown all only show one texture, until you do this...

Ah, you were talking about addon planes, i thought you were talking about the stock hangar .

Well, if you can show me how to add another category to the aircraft menu, please do...
