Hey,

I currently have a little over 500 airplane addons installed in flight simulator x, many of which I use very infrequently. I was recently told by a computer expert that deleting these aircraft permanently is a bad idea because this may actually cause my system to crash. Is there a safe way to put any aircraft I am not using into temporary storage? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Make a new folder in the FSX SimOjects folder. And name it what you will , I named mine Hanger.You can put in any model , planes, helps etc.

Put in there the folders of the planes you are not using. Any problems then repost. If you use the trike or another model as default then leave in Aircraft folder.

this is exceptional! Lot's of stuff you can do with it:

Well worth the cost.

I simply change the nname of the "panel" folder to "panel-x". That prevents the aircraft

from being displayed in the selection menu as FSX will treat that aircraft as AI.

 

Putting the 'unused' aircraft into a separate folder or folders is also a good option.

That way you can selectively enable/disable thos folders via the SimObjects

entries in the fsx.cfg file. You simply add the new folders, with the full path to them,

into the existing list of SimObjects.

 

Note that these folders can be located ANYWHERE on your system since the

full path is required in the list.

 

When you want to disable a folder just comment out // the entry.
