Can't save aircraft skins on the cfg file

Postby devildog28 » Mon Jun 09, 2008 10:29 am

I downloaded a couple aircraft skins, and like the instructions said
i opened up the aircraft cfg. file and pasted it there under the last skin.  The problem is that I can't save the file after I paste it in there.  I get a "can't create ar replace file,   Check and make sure the path and file name are correct."  Is this any easy fix to do?

Right click on aircraft.cfg, go to properties, then security, click users( make sure it's highlighted ), click edit, then click allow full control. Hope it helps. I presume you're using WinVista. If you don't want to do this all the time, do this same method, but right click on Simobjects.

I had this problem also..
What you have to do is drag the aircraft.cfg onto to your desktop, then add whatever your adding to your cfg, then go to the top and click file SAVE!
Now drag the aircraft.cfg file back into the airplane

;)
