Can someone explain how to alter airfiles.

[A/SGT.Mav316]

Hi it's helpless Mav again!

         I look for improving FS2k2 on my Pc and This has been the place to get quality answers. Today problem is I would like to alter the air file on a F16 falcon. The Aerodynamics are cool. But the problem I am having with her is that the Airbrakes absolutely do nothing to slow the aircraft down. Whether it be flying or running down the runway on a landing attempt.

         Is there anyway to tweek the airbrake in the F-16's airfile to put some drag on it to make this sucka slow down! I was offered a modified airfile, but unfortunately I understand some of us are the busy folks! I just want to learn how to do it myself so that in the future I tweek up the airfiles of other planes that I may be having problems with.

          Thanks again for your assistance in advance!

Hello Mav,

If you are really serious about editing airfiles there is a site with lots of information and a link to a dedicated airfile board:

I was wondering why you didn't reply to the offer.

I understand you like to learn to do it yourself. Me to.

Let me know if you change your mind. Good luck.

Where have you been Fisharno? I replied and emailed you tons of times asking for the file! you never emailed me back!  :'( I thought you were leaving me hanging man! I would love the hook up on your f16 airfile.

But I would still like to learn how to adjust the airfile of aircrafts. I am having issues with helicopters and some of these new aircrafts!

I'm soooo sorry Mav!

I think my e-mail filter is to blame. I feel so bad.
I really try not to leave anybody hanging.

Please let me make it up to you.... Just send a note to this NON FILTERED address:  fisharno56@yahoo.com

I'll turn that file around to you ASAP.

I appologize, again, for the mixup.

Thanks guys,

I got your file from the yahoo link you provided Fisharno, I will check it out tomorrow night! Much apreciated. I will get back to you on how well it worked out.

I will go and try that link now Andrew, The AirED file here in Simviation won't download. I keep getting the web page doesn't exist screen when I attempt to download it! But I will try the link you provided. Thanks again for all your assistance guys!

[A/SGT.Mav316]

it did it to me again Andrew! It keeps saying "The page doesn't exists"! It's all right  8) I am going to lay low for a while and just enjoy my American Airline 737 and my F-16 with the improved Fisharno Airfile!

That's weird, it worked before

oh well, you can download it on Avsim, filename is 'aired.zip'

[fisharno]

Hey guys.
(Hope it works for you, Mav)

And along those lines, I just downloaded The FSEdit SDK from Microsoft FS Insider. It's a little too late to try it now, but I was wondering if anybody has tried it. I use FlightZip 2000 to swap panels, and sounds. But FSEdit says it does that and modify flight dynamics, too.

That already has the potential to get rid of 2 utilities, right there!

Just looking for an informed opinion.

Thanks.

Good luck on being able to even run FSEDIT

A lot of people, me included, can't even run FSEDIT because of all the bugs in it
