Disabling default aircraft in MSFS 2024

Featured Replies

I'm only using some few default a/c like c172, c208 and tbm930. So I wanted to disable all the other, but it appears that some of them are system relevant. When I left only those three a/c active, the sim start-up was messed up and did not arrive in the start menu. Off course, I had made  a backup copy oft the content.xml which brought it back to normal starting behavior. Is anything known about which a/c can be safely disabled? Or must I wait until MS decides to give us the option to see only "favored" a/c in the hangar eventually?

I have put two or three of them back now but I have disabled all of them in the past with no issues. I only use Free Flight, if that makes a difference.

Thanks, then I will try again.

Yes, there should not be any issue disabling default a/c that you don't active. I have done that too in MSFS2024 and put back a few a/c from time to time.

On some a/c, you might get a caution about Career Mode preconditions...that's all...

Like your Short Skyvan and the livery...🙂...I own it MSFS...
