How to delete aircraft choices from FSX?

Featured Replies

There are many aircraft I will never fly and wouyld like to detete them as choices when selecting an aircraft.Any one know how to do this?

The only way to do this is to delate the aircraft folder out of your FSX install. Flight Simulator X -> Simobjects -> Aircrafts.John

There is at least one other way to delete (choosing the livery)...1) Go to the aircraft as John said.2) Backup the aircraft.cfg file3) Look for the plane livery(s) you do not want to use...4) put a double forward slash in front of the texture line for that livery.Example:Say... I do not want to use the Default Airbus A321 Pacifica Airlines livery. Find that one: ui_variation="Pacifica Airlines"You see that it is listed in the [fltsim.2] section... just put a // in front of the texture= line. It should now look like this:[fltsim.2]title=Airbus A321 Paint5sim=Airbus_A321model=panel=sound=//texture=5kb_checklists=AirbusA321_checkkb_reference=AirbusA321_refatc_id=JA-3297atc_airline=Pacificaatc_flight_number=ui_manufacturer="Airbus"ui_type="A321"ui_variation="Pacifica Airlines"ui_typerole="Commercial Airliner"ui_createdby="Microsoft Corporation"That works in most cases (I think... ). Not in cases where there is just a "texture=" and nothing after the equal as in the case of the Default Airbus A321 White livery.Maybe someone has a better way w/o deleting the whole livery?

FSX looks for a panel to show aircraft and there are couple of ways to disable panels.One easy way is to re-name the panel.cfg file to something else and then if you want the plane back, then change the name of the file back.

dont know why would you want to delete it for if you dont want to fly it than dont select it

I just saved and then deleted the various aircraft folders from simobjects. Seems to do the trick. As for why, I just want to list the aircraft I fly. The list had become large.

FYI we do not recommend deleting default MS aircraft - a lot of addons have dependencies on their gauges and stuff and it may not be obvious what the cause is when you start getting errors.
