May 27, 200818 yr Greetings all,As a habit, I like to properly name the aircraft folders in my FS9 aircraft folder. For example, if I download a 737 and the folder name is B_737, or something like that, then I change the name to Boeing 737. I do the same in the aircraft configuration file so that it is properly labled in FS9. However, when I do this with the LDS 767 the autopilot will not function. Is there anyway around this, or am I stuck with a black sheep folder?-Jeremy Jeremy "rightseater" Fletcher
May 27, 200818 yr Commercial Member Renaming folders is asking for trouble I'm afraid. I've had users who do things like that, and it can easily turn into a support headache.I'd suggest sticking with the 'black sheep folder' as you put it (interesting phrase by the way :-) )Cheers,Bryan B.

May 27, 200818 yr Author Yep, that's what I thought I'd here. It's a shame though because my aircraft folder was looking so nice. Thanks,-Jeremy Jeremy "rightseater" Fletcher
May 27, 200818 yr I've been renaming aircraft folders to suit me for both FS9 and FSX for a long time.................never had a problem.

May 28, 200818 yr Jeremy,Try renaming the folder, but NOT changing the information in the aircraft.cfg file. Does that work? Graeme Butler
May 28, 200818 yr Author Looks like it's the other way around for me. I had no problem replacing "Level-D" with "Boeing" in the cfg file, but renaming the folder just screws up my universe. No big deal, at least it's the only ugly duckling in my A/C folder.....the folder name that is, not the aircraft. Jeremy "rightseater" Fletcher
May 28, 200818 yr You could hide the folder and get rid of that darn black sheep :-lol(visually that is) Location: Vleuten, The Netherlands, 17.3dme SPL 108.40 | Simulator: FS2024 System: AMD 7800X3D - Gigabyte X670 - RTX 4090 - 64GB DDR5 - 2 x 2TB SSD - 32" 1440p Display - Windows 11 Pro
May 28, 200818 yr Problems arise when renaming folders when said folders are referred to in "alias" situations, that is I renamed one of the default planes and another plane was using the default sounds. This created problems because the path noted in the sound.cfg no longer existed.Perhaps this is causing your problems as well.Just a thought. The best gift you can give your children is your time.
