September 4, 20205 yr Hi, Can somebody direct me to how to edit aircraft.cfg like it was in FSX or P3D please? I can't find any aircraft location in particular any aircraft.cfg, I would like to go into [flight tuning] section and adjust like elevator(rudder aileron)_effectiveness variables. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you! 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you! Unfortunately, my understanding is those type of aircraft.cfg flight control effectiveness parameters do not currently exist in MSFS, at least not in the accessible FSX/P3D form. So, for example, if you are finding the controls overly responsive, you need to reduce the appropriate sensitivity sliders in the sim's Controls menu section. EDIT: The information above that I had received was wrong. The misinformation was because the SDK is incomplete in the Flight Tuning section. The parameters you are looking for are in what is called the Flight_Model.cfg file. Sorry for the confusion. Al Edited September 4, 20205 yr by ark

September 4, 20205 yr It should be there...unless it's a deluxe or premium aircraft...those are annoyingly locked at the moment | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

September 4, 20205 yr Oh I could have sworn the flight_model.cfg has those options. I was doing a small mod for the VL3 but maybe it was something else | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

The premium aircraft have several config files locked up so they cannot be changed. The standard aircraft all have the necessary files. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

September 4, 20205 yr Author Thank you! I was able to find the config file and just did a mod on the 152 to bring it up to the point where is stable and enjoyable to fly versus an uncontrollable airplane. This is what I changed [FLIGHT_TUNING] pitch_stability = 1.0 //0.33 roll_stability = 1.2 //0.25 yaw_stability = 1.0 //0.25 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.

From my understanding there's certain things you are not allowed to edit or modify when it comes to the flight models of the default aircraft. This obviously needs to change, but dunno if it ever will. I can promise you one thing though...if they don't open up the originals for editing then there's no way I will support 3rd party aircraft... I'll say that for myself.
