I found a repiant for a the default 747 in FSX. I added everything correctly. Just before exiting the CFG file it asks me if I want to save. I say yes,then it takes me to another place to save the file. By default the file save says aircraft. i hit ok and it says access denied. I used to do this all the time with XP up through my current OS. Did i miss a step? I'm used to the file just excepting its being overwritten and thats it. I want my Hibiscus back . Any help would be appreciated.
