Jorge,Do you mean you just want the FSP MD-83 to show up in your default traffic instead of the default MD-83? Or do you want to fly it?John

John,Yes, just make the FSP MD-83 the default AI.Thanks,Jorge

Jorge, Yes you can, open the aircraft.cxt file, look for the MD-83 entry. There should be something like AC#1,555, "blh blah" just change that to another MD-80 entry of your choice..

Jorge,Go to your default MD-83 aircraft.cfg file and copy the line "title=McDonnell-Douglas/Boeing MD-83" and use it to replace the title line in your first FSP plane. Then go back and do the same with the lines that end in Paint 1 and Paint 2 for the next two planes you want to substitute. Be sure to remove the original default MD-83 folder from your AIRCRAFT folder or at least make sure their title lines are disabled. Hope this helps.John
