November 1, 201213 yr In your aircraft.cfg files each [fltsim.nn] section has a title= line. For the sim to work properly each of those lines has to be unique throughout the sim. The messages are telling you that you have duplicate title= lines and they are telling you where to find them. To get rid of those messages you need to make those lines unique. There area some side effects associated with editing the title= line that you need to be aware of. One is that AI traffic files call planes by that line and changing it will cause those planes to no longer show up in the sim as AI. If you are not using these planes as AI, then do not worry about this side effect. Another place you might have issues is with saved flights. If you try to start a saved flight that uses a plane that you have changed the title= line in, you may get an "Aircraft Initialization" error and the flight will load with the Cessna 172 instead of the expected plane. If this happens you can then load the intended plane and re-save the flight. regards, Joe The best gift you can give your children is your time.

November 1, 201213 yr In SELECT AIRCRAFT check the box "Show all Variations" to see all the titles. Dave

FSX does a fine job of notifying you when you have duplicate title= lines, why have a utility that does the same thing? regards, Joe The best gift you can give your children is your time.
