August 23, 20205 yr Been looking at the files, and noticed that some aircraft (Like the Cirrus Sr22 for example) do not have an an aircraft.cfg or more importantly a flightmodel.cfg. The C152 has both of these (and more) and is really tweakable... where is the cirrus flight model stored then if not in the same folder..just wanted to do a few tweaks on the flight model to more accurately match the behaviour of the Cirrus Sr22 I used to own and fly or is it the GENERIC single prop model (which would be odd as the Sr22 is FAR from a generic single prop in performance ! ) are they missing or just invisible, and if so why some planes and not others? thanks !

August 23, 20205 yr They probably default to the generic set of configs in places like .... \Official\OneStore\asobo-aircraft-generic-piston-singleengine\SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_Generic_Piston_SingleEngine Specs: Win10, 4790K, nVidia 1080ti, Saitek Yoke+Quadrant+Radio/Switch and AP panels, VRInsight 737 overhead, Virtual Avionics 737 MCP. 3 x 1440*900 main display + 1024*600 VDU display.

August 23, 20205 yr Author If that's the case, then as I said above the SR22 is far from generic in its performance, so how can it be the same as a normal piston single...very odd ! will try some tuning of the generic config to see what happens I guess 🙂 And why would they NOT give it a config file of its own (unless that was part of rushing it out the door ! ) Bill P
August 23, 20205 yr Yeah I hate this obsfication and encryption nonsense. We need to be able to fine tune everything. What's flight simming without being able to get under the hood ? Surprisingly there's a FSX cfg file that appears redundant... But the user.cfg has barely anything in it.
August 23, 20205 yr Author Yes its just a bit weird that SOME planes are fine tuneable , while others are clearly not . ! that has to be an oversight rather than by design surely ! Bill P
August 23, 20205 yr I think you can create a cfg provided it conforms to the required format, then apply it to a specific aircraft, rather than the fallback to a generic cfg. But it is quite a complicated process. The SDK docs go into some detail about this and it is very different from previous iterations. You could also try making a copy of the generic cfg you wish to edit then place the saved file it in that aircraft's folder. However caution is advised. If you mess up the sim will crash on start up as it goes through every folder checking files for integrity and correct syntax If it finds even a comma out of place the sim will likely CTD before you get to the main menu.

August 23, 20205 yr Author Thats interesting Robert ...cheers for that ! Do you know If I place a saved .cfg file in the aircraft folder , does it know to look there for one first THEN default to the generic if it doesn't find one, or does it need to be told to use the new file in some config elsewhere? Was just going to change some numbers to match the Sr22 more accurately ...what could POSSIBLY go wrong? LOLOL Bill P
August 23, 20205 yr It really pays to read those docs, and find out how wise MFS's approach to the new - MODERN - flight dynamics model is. Very clever, to say the least... Regarding the OP, the answer has already been given - it reverts to default CFGs when customized ones do not exist in place.
