Actually, for FSX there are two additional entries available:ui_typerole="Twin Engine Prop"---------------4-- then this lineui_createdby="Microsoft Corporation"---------------5-- then this lineThe last two entries are quite useful, since you can quickly filter your display for specific type of aircraft, or only those from a particular vendor.
