November 19, 200322 yr Hi guys,There are certain aircraft, such as the default MD-83 & Dash-8 in FS9 which are by default non-selectable (non-visible) in the Select Aircraft window. I'm also experiencing this problem with some certain AI Aardvark planes, such as the 727s and 767s. I want to enable the selectability of such aircraft in order to test out their textures and lights before using them in AI traffic. You see, I'm pretty sure that there's a simple solution to this by editing the Aircraft.cfg , in fact I kept looking inside the Aircraft.cfg files of the aircraft in question with no solution. So, if anybody knows how to make these aircraft selectable by editing a certain line in the Aircraft.cfg , then can you help me? :-hmmm Cheers,
November 19, 200322 yr Actually it's in the .air file that activates the selectability of the aircraft in the select aircraft window of the sim.You need to open up the .air file for the given aircraft and edit table 105 (Aircraft type). An unselectable aircraft will have a value of 2...Simply change that value to 0 and you'll be all set.You will need a program called AirEd to access the .air file as these type of files are encoded. You can download the program from pretty much any well known flight sim site if you haven't already got it.Regards,Van LatendresseYeoDesigns/AFG GroupPanel/FDE Designer
