Hiding some default aircrafts in aircraft selection

Featured Replies

How to I hide some of defaults aircraft that I would never be using but not deleting more moving it somehwhere else because I heard that some add-ons still refer to these models. I tried the Panel.Off method offered in this forum but it is still there in the aircraft selection screen

Create a Hangar Folder inside of your FSX Main folder.  Move the aircraft folders there.

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

If this is like FS9, there is a flag you can set in each airfile so that it's not recognized as an user aircraft, and thus, it won't appear in the aircraft list. You won't move anything. This is the utility I used back in FS9:

It's actually the same trick you use for hiding all your AI from the selection screen. Almost no one does so for P3D, since AIG aircraft come already with that flag set.

Main rig: self built, AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D (with SMT off and CO -50 mV), 2x16 GB DDR4-3200 RAM, Nvidia RTX 5060Ti 16GB, 256 GB M.2 SSD (OS+apps) + 2x1 TB SATA III SSD (sims) + 1 TB 7200 rpm HDD (storage), ID-Cooling SE-224-XTS air cooler, Viewsonic VX2458-MHD 1920x1080@120-144 Hz (G-sync compatible), Windows 11. Running P3D v5.4 (with v4.5 scenery objects as an additional library, just in case), FSX-SE, MSFS2020, MSFS2024 and even FS9! Lossless Scaling for all my sims. What a godsend...

Mobile rig: ASUS Zenbook UM425QA (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H APU @3.2 GHz and boost disabled, 1 TB M.2 SSD, 16 GB RAM, Windows 11 Pro). Running FS9 there .

VKB Gladiator NXT Premium Left + GNX THQ as primary controllers. Xbox Series X|S wireless controller as standby/mobile.

Another method (the one I use) is to simply rename the panel.cfg file of the aircraft you wish to hide to "panel.null". They will no longer appear. Simply change the name back to "panel.cfg" when you want them to appear.

But probably like the OP, I have my own "fleet" of aircraft and pretty much every default aircraft is hidden bar the ultralight (which I keep for surveying new scenery and as the default flight).
