Is the aircraft.cfg the file I need to go to to change aircraft performance characteristics? For example, can I change the .cfg file of an F18C to that of an F18E?

Yes, you can modify the performance in the aircraft.cfg.

For an explaination of the sections and entries in the .cfg file--

-If you have the FSXSDK installed, open it's help file, FSXSDK.chm. Look under the SimObjects Creation Kit section for Aircraft Configuration Files.

-If you don't have the SDK, use this link for a web version: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc526949.aspx#mozTocId942782

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.

I have Flight Deck 6 installed and one of the problems I encountered was that none of the default aircraft is able to get up enough speed for a successful launch from static or moving carrier except the F18C. The F18E has the same problem and I was just wondering whether I can compare each of the models .cfg  and find out what's missing. Or could this be a FD6 software problem?
