Hi,

As far as the planes under wrong name, I may be wrong but look at your aircraft list on the aircraft selection screen for one with the thumbnail missing, You'll have to create one for it.

You can manually do a screen shot and resize it or look in the utility downloads section here on SV, there is a little utility that will do them for you, see page 7 of fsx/utilities.

I need to ask this.
When you download an aircraft, how do you install it?

As long as you dont extract zip files directly into fsx its ok.
Ref effect files. Its a good idea to check the date on the file. It might be newer one.

You can use notepad to edit the file and is probably the best way to do it.

Right click on the .cfg file and select 'open with...' and choose notepad.

OR

Select run from the start menu and type in notepad then use file/open and navigate to the correct .cfg file.
You may need to copy the file first to the desktop and edit here, depends on the location of your main fsx folder.


Another way is on the desktop is to right click and select new txt file.
open this file then drag and drop the file you want you want to edit onto it.

Gimme bout' 30 minutes to an hour, and I'll post some screen shots that might be able to help you on this,,, and i'll try to explain some things.

Keep in mind I've installed just over 4,000 Aircraft in my FSX Simulator,,, mostly manually,,,

be back with you shortly,,
