Hi there, I am looking for some advice if possible. I am trying to add a new aircraft to Flight Sim X (well a repaint of the default 737 actually). Now the readme file tells me to copy the texture folder to the 737 aircraft folder in fsx which I do with no problems but then it tells me to copy and paste a paragraph of text from the dowloaded file to my aircraft.cfg file. It tells me where to insert the text and I do that as instructed but when I come to save it I have a message saying access to Microsoft Flight Simulator X aircraft config file was denied.

What do I have to do in order to be able to save the file after I have made the adjustments?

It sounds like you are using vista.

If that is the case, do this:

right click on the aircraft.cfg file, go to properties, and click the security tab. Click the "edit" button next to "to change permissions, click edit". This will bring up a small new window with user names at the top and checkmarks at the bottom. Highlight your windows user name and then put a checkmark in the Allow box for Full Control. Then click OK.  If at any time Windows requires your permission, allow it.

Hope this helps.

Job done, thatnks very much for your help!
