July 17, 200916 yr I've noticed that there appears to be 2 types of comments for all the .CFG files in FS9. One is 2 forward slash characters "//" and the other is a semi-colon ";". Will someone please verify this for me and let me know if there are other comment characters? Thank you!Mark

I don't think there are any others that will work in a *.cfg file, although a meaningless line will usually be ignored.John My co-pilot's name is Sid and he's a star! http://www.adventure-unlimited.org
July 17, 200916 yr Author Thanks John...been going through the various config files writing an intelligent syntax checker and overall cleaning utility. I couldn't find any documentation other then the standard .INI file stuff for commenting. (Did I miss it?)You know, it's kind of fun going through the SDK documentation. I keep seeing things that I have to have read before but have forgotten about. I guess it's because the docs are so discontinuous and disheveled that it makes them hard to scan...You actually have to read them rather then simply reference them. By the way, those docs are a database that can be inner joined by fields and parameter values to their associated .CFG files. It's a bummer that many of the docs have different types of tables in them, otherwise I could simply just suck them into a database without having to re-columize each table to each other :)Thanks again John...Mark
