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,

My little unfinished Erla loves FS-X

Good tip. I must try it.

PS. I hate auto-installers.

I havent yet been able to install any aftermarket a/c. Posky's site says most of thier planes will work, but I tried to install the Lufthansa 747 and its not showing up.  :(  Any ideas's??

BTW, Im getting 15 FPS at KLAX so im not doin too bad.

ACtually, yes - two - a Mig 15 and Sopwith Strutter - both for FS2000  :)

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...  ;)

No more installing the FS9 Craft Via manual and a false directory.... You guys are great!  ;D

Gunny, Happy with this!

Hey guys

When  create this folder (Aircraft) and drop some SAMDIM's Antonovs there, are they suppose to appear under aircraft menu inside the simulator??
If so, it ain't workin for me, did I miss somethin?

cya!

Did you forget the FSG Edit under main?

It could help you know (I accidently forgot to save the first time!)

Gees I can't even find the right FSX folder!

I too am having trouble finding which file contains this information.

[quote]I too am having trouble finding which file contains this information.

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
