Enter your performance specs here...

Postby rootbeer » Sun Oct 15, 2006 11:37 pm

This is what it reads (or close to it) in the dialog box of Mike Stone's Angel 44 twin pusher. How do I do so? Will what performance parameters I give it be the model it uses? It's already pretty hot, as is his GFSA Geobat. That's a fun one. Try it. Thanks.

I read his About Me on his website.  The tone of what he wrote leads me to think he does not entertain fools gladly. So I guess I'm SOL regarding my question...

Rootbeer.
You can enter the information in the Aircraft.cfg file using notepad but it won't effect the performance of the aircraft. It's just information. :)

Thanks, Zaph, but I'm still at a loss as to how to actually enter information into the box...

Ok..
You need to open the aircraft.cfg file. The path is;
C:/program files/microsoft games/flight simulator 9/Aircraft/Angel_44
Double click on the Aircraft.cfg file and it should open in wordpad. Scroll down untill you find the lines;
description=Enter your description
performance=Enter your performance information here.
Make any alteration you want after the "=" sign and then save the modified file.
It won't alter the way the aircraft behaves but your new text should appear in the boxes.
If you're in any doubt back up the original Aircraft.cfg first and then modify a copy.
Hope this helps.

BTW, I just wanted to comment on how much I like that Angel aircraft. Flies great. I wish it were more detailed in visuals, but I got what I paid for....

Yes it really flies well. The first time I flew it I did a quick curcuit from my local airfield (Headcorn UK) and nailed the landing perfectly, and trust me that doesn't happen often :)
