had to reinstall fsx etc etc etc........noticed when i started fsx....message...multiple objects with same title ...should have unique names....regarding the maul m7 260c and ski version..........?...also happened with the f-22a raptor...?
search didn't work...i removed them from sim until fix.....

How ya doing Yancovitch.
Whats happening is this,
in the aircraft.cfg file you have this:


[fltsim.0]
title=[glow=yellow,2,300]Cessna Skyhawk 172SP Paint1[/glow]
sim=Cessna172SP
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=1
kb_checklists=Cessna172SP_check
kb_reference=Cessna172SP_ref
atc_id=G-BAFM
ui_manufacturer="Cessna"
ui_type="C172SP Skyhawk"
ui_variation=" Blue, Gold"
ui_typerole="Single Engine Prop"
ui_createdby="Microsoft Corporation"

fltsim.1
title=[glow=yellow,2,300]Cessna Skyhawk 172SP Paint2[/glow]
sim=Cessna172SP
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=2
kb_checklists=Cessna172SP_check
kb_reference=Cessna172SP_ref
atc_id=HB-MES
ui_manufacturer="Cessna"
ui_type="C172SP Skyhawk"
ui_variation=" White,Green"
ui_typerole="Single Engine Prop"
ui_createdby="Microsoft Corporation"


So say you downloaded another Cessna Skyhawk
172SP [glow=yellow,2,300]Paint1[/glow], you would have to change the [glow=yellow,2,300]title[/glow] to something diffrent such as [glow=yellow,2,300]Paint3[/glow] and if it's a standalone in it's own folder, that's all you have to do.

But if it's a texture that your adding to your 172SP, just make sure it has it's own title and all you have to do is make sure you add it in by putting in the next fltsim.#:

[glow=yellow,2,300][fltsim.2][/glow]
[glow=yellow,2,300]title=Cessna Skyhawk 172SP TEXTURE add-on[/glow]
sim=Cessna172SP
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=3
kb_checklists=Cessna172SP_check
kb_reference=Cessna172SP_ref
atc_id=N176CM
atc_id_color=0xffffffff
ui_manufacturer="Cessna"
ui_type="C172SP Skyhawk"
ui_variation=" Orange, Black"
ui_typerole="Single Engine Prop"
ui_createdby="Microsoft Corporation"

That's all there is to it!

thanks for your response.......here's what i have.......
[fltsim.0] title= Maule M7 260C paint1.... in one folder
[fltsim.0]title= Maule M7 260C Ski paint1...in the other
and regarding the raptor....

[fltsim.0]

Have you checked thru the ..\simobjects\airplanes\ folder to see if you have (or had) multiple installs of the same aircraft? (same aircraft with different folder names)

[quote]i removed them from sim until fix.....

Hi,

I see no title duplicates in the data you submitted.
Try this. Go to the FSX.cfg file in your AppData and check the [Main] section.

when i removed the folders from fsx, the planes didn't show up in select aircraft....

cfg.....?

[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

I don't see a problem with the maules.

And I'm not sure if the (parentheses) in the raptor titles makes a difference.

I'd try letting your pc do a search to see if theres duplicates somewere.

If nothing comes up, try doing the ol Let the sim write a new fsx.cfg file trick.

If that don't work, I'd delete the offending aircraft
(as far as the maules go) you can use the repair option to have them replaced.

and the raptors are addons so  I'd just reinstall them with a fresh download. Goodluck! 

interesting...i just deleted all the entries in the cfg file for the raptor and they were all there in the sim.......go figure...
haven't figured the maule yet
