February 22, 200818 yr HiI'm new to FS2004, but I've been adding on quite a lot of addon aircraft and is wondering if there is a limit or can you add indefinitely?Also does the more you have impact on the performance of fs2004 ie. slows it down etc?Many thanks
February 22, 200818 yr "Is there a limit to addon aircraft?"Not that I'm aware of, but having a LOT (ie 100's) of ai aircraft certainly slows down loading, I'd guess the same would be true for flyable aircraft. I'd suggest moving aircraft you're not using regularly into a backup folder, then it'll be easy just to copy them back to the Aircraft folder when you want them.
February 22, 200818 yr There's a small utility that can render AI models invisible when loading them. This shortens FS loading times and prevents from scrolling through a long list of planes when you want to select one.Sorry I can't provide a link since I don't remember where exactly I downloaded that tool from. Perhaps someone else would...
February 22, 200818 yr It is called bbqhideai.zip and is available in the library here.It was written by Alan WL Chan.
February 23, 200818 yr I have tons of planes and if I kept them all in one Aircraft folder the load-time would be huge.So I've split them all up into folders named:Aircraft (Piston)Aircraft (Turboprop)Aircraft (Jets)Aircraft (Helicopter)When the time comes to fly I just rename the relevant folder to "Aircraft" and off we go :)
