The simplest way is to save to CFG file to another location (i.e Desktop)then copy and paste is back to where it was originally this over writes the original version leaving you with the edited one.

Or you can turn down the user account control settings. This will allow you to just save the files normally.

Hope that helps!

Hey

Thanks. I will try this

Remember that in W7 the default location for FSX is protected and cannot be overwritten - at least not in my setup which I have not changed on purpose.

What you need to do is move (move not copy) the file to be edited out of the folder - then edit it - save it - then move the file back into the default FSX folder.

is there a sticky about this yet? or is it in the FAQ

Copying works far better as if you move the original you run the risk of having no copy of the original if you mess it up.
