Different ACFT.CFG

Will an 'aircraft.cfg' file, in FSX, written horizontally (letter style) work the same as the default vertical listing.

I think that each line in the file, is like a line in a programming language. It has to start in a specific place.

FSX has the oddity, in that the cfg file is like a super-imposition over the Air file. IF  there's a parameter in the cfg file, it over-rides that parameter in the Air file. If there is no parameter (or it's improperly written) , again, the Air file takes over.

So... it will work, but any specific customization in the cfg file is ignored.
