Playing Around With aircraft.cfg

Featured Replies

I've been tinkering around with my aircraft's aircraft.cfg file just to bring about some consistency in the FSX GUI for selecting aircraft. In most part, things have (in my opinion) improved as hoped.

 

[fltsim.0]
title=cl604_X14 N832SC
sim=604_9
model=
panel=cl604x
sound=
texture=n832sc
kb_checklists=cl604_check
kb_reference=cl604_ref
atc_airline=
atc_id=C168
ui_manufacturer="Canadair"
ui_type="CL604 Challenger"
ui_variation="Corporate N832SC"
ui_typerole="Twin Engine Turboprop"
ui_createdby="Premier Aircraft Design"
description=Bombardier \nChallenger 604 for FSX\nPremier Aircraft Design\nwww.premaircraft.com\/\The Bombardier Challenger 600 series is a family of business jets designed by Bill Lear and produced first by Canadair until that company was bought by Bombardier Aerospace in 1986.

 

.... results in an entry on the select aircraft page that says "Canadair CL604 Challenger Corporate N832SC". If I understand correctly, this would be "ui_manufacturer"+"ui_type"+"ui_variation".

 

However, I do not get the same results from this similar aircraft.cfg file:

 

[fltsim.0]
title=crj100_Air Canada Jazz orange
sim=crj200
model=
panel=crj200x
sound=0
texture=jazz_orange
kb_checklists=crj_check
kb_reference=crj_ref
atc_airline=Air Canada
atc_flight_number=2088
atc_heavy=0
atc_id=C-GKEW
ui_manufacturer="Canadair"
ui_type"CRJ2"
ui_variation="Air Canada Jazz (Orange)"
ui_typerole="Regional Jet"
ui_createdby="Premier Aircraft Design"
description=Bombardier \nCRJ100 for FS2004\nPremier Aircraft Design\nwww.premaircraft.com\/\nAll Files Copyright 2009

 

In this particular case, the resulting entry in the select aircraft page shows "Canadair crj100_Air Canada Jass orange Air Canada Jazz (Orange)" It appears that the "title" has been added to the string. (preferred: Canadair CRJ2 Air Canada Jazz (Orange))

 

Where have I gone wrong? This seems to be the only aircraft.cfg file demonstrating this.

ui_variation="Air Canada Jazz (Orange)"

Looks to me this is where you have it mixed up

Should be Air Canada Jazz C-GKEW

Looks like I missed an "="

 

Everything works well when ui_type"CRJ2" is changed to the corrected ui_type="CRJ2"
