Does anybody know why im getting a error everytime i try to save the textues in to the aircraft.cfg file.
here is the error
  make sure that the path and file name are correct.

Hi there. I suspect you have Vista. If you're using the default security settings it won't allow you to edit files in the Program Files directory. I have little knowledge of Vista but this subject has been been covered in depth on this forum if you care to do a search.

Meanwhile, one way over this is to paste the CFG file you wish to edit to a different location (like the Desktop) before editing it. Then save changes before pasting it back again.

Please take a back-up copy of any files you intend editing before editing them in case of mistakes.

OK ONES IM ON THE AIRCRAFT.CFG FILE THIS IS WHAT I HAVE. THE I NEED TO PASTE THE NEW AIRCRAFT TEXTURES AFTER THE LAST ONE, AND BEFORE GENERAL. THE I HAVE TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE FILE TO [fltsim.6] in this case. the problem is that when i try to save it i wont let me.
and i will get this error mess.
"cannot create the c;\programs file\microsoft game\microsoft flight simulator\simobjects\planes\b737-800\aircraft.cfg file.

However, it wasn't always that way\s in the first few years of production, there were so few orders that Boeing considered canceling the program. They didn't, and the airplane has more than proven itself in over three decades of service."

Did you read my first reply?

im still getting the same problem

Perhaps this will help. http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1250292507

Please read it carefully.

I dont really save it to the desktop all I do is just drag it to the desktop, edit it, save it, drag it back into the folder.

Its really easy. You can watch my video on how to download textures if you need more help.
