Stupid mistake #2

Postby patchz » Tue Jun 16, 2009 5:57 am

At some point, before I learned better, I overwrote the aircraft.cfg for the default Beech Baron 58. Is there a way to recover it from one of the disks without re-installing FS9? Thanks.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

patchz,

Any default file can be recovered from the CDs. Browse the CDs and 'open' the .cab files, which are similar to .zip files, and extract the needed file(s).

Hint: In Explorer, if you use the 'Details' view, when you open a .cab file there should a 'Path' column. Clicking the Path column header will sort the files by destination folder.

I believe aircraft are on CD 1. If you check the Flight Simulator 2004 FAQ  topic at the top of this forum, you'll find a link to 'Where to find stuff on my original disks'.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
