Where are my down load airplanes

Postby Tom@KTPL » Thu Feb 24, 2011 11:55 pm

FS9/Vista

When I down load airplanes to fly, where are they located. I look in the aircraft files and they are no shows.

I know they are somwhere becasue I can select them to fly, but where do they reside in the file system???

Troubled in Temple.....:-((

LET ME CLAIFY MY PREVIOUS POST.
I AM TRYING TO CREATE FLIGHT PLANS AND WOULD LIKE TO USE SOME OF MY DOWNLOADED (NON AI) AIRPLANES, BUT CAN NOT A FIND A FILE ON MY COMPUTER WHERE THESE NEW AIPLANES RESIDE.

OR I GUESS THE BETTER QUESTION SHOULD BE, CAN I USE NEWLY DOWNLOADED AIRPLANES TO CREAT NEW FLIGHT PLANS.

AM I MAKING MY SELF CLEAR??

Caps lock is cruise control for cool.

Hi,

Yes you can.  Inside your Aircraft folder are the folders for the planes.  Inside those you will find an aircraft.cfg file.  Open that and you will see a line that starts with title=  .  This is the part that tells TTools which plane to use in your flight plan.  You copy everything to the right of the equals sign into your custom aircraft.txt file (for TTools to compile).  Then assign a flight plan to that AC# and compile with TTools as usual.

Hope this helps,

OK, I'm almost with you, but what do you mean by "custom aircraft" file. Is this a seperate file from the main aircraft030528.txt. ttools file

Do you just make a new aircraft number and then add the config file info. FS currently has 59 default aircraft numbers.
