Hi Pete. Thanks for that. I did wonder. I have now placed it in the only location I can find which has all the PMDG aircraft and other fsx planes. Fingers crossed!John

Steve. Thanks again. I did find that folder but it seemed to hold only fonts and a shortcut to internet support. However, I have done as you suggested and copied the dll into there. I'll see how I get on.RegardsJohn

SteveThanks for the response. I'm going to prove my ignorance again! Becasue I use W7 I seem to have various bits of FSX all over the place. Could you point me in the direction of the "fsx root" folder.CheersJohn

Hi All. Please excuse my ignorance on this. I have experienced some CTDs when using menus so want to make this change. When I search for the UIAutomationCore.dll file I find it in:ComputerWinVista©WindowsSystem32. Despite the Vista reference on my hard disc I use 64 bit W7. Whe you make reference to dropping the file into the FSX folder, what does that mean given where it currently appears to be?Thanks for any adviceJohn Gilbert

Dear All.. Just in from work and see lots of posts about my "hard to find aircraft.cfg files". Thanks to everyone for the guidance and advice. Given that all is working well I will stay clear of a reinstall etc for now, and await the outcome of SP1. If I have problems I will reinstall using all the advice received. Thanks again.John

James. Found 'em! They were in programX86/microsoft games/sim objects/airplanes/PDMG 737-800 .....John

Thanks anyway James. The program works fine so they must be somewhere!John

Hi James. The cfg files are not in that folder. All I have in program files x86, microsoft games, microsoft flight simulator x is a folder called "fonts" and not "sim objects, airplanes, pmdg737ngx.aircraft cfg". John

Hi James. I am following this thread on editing the aircraft.cfg files to backup liveries or deleting the cfg files altogether before installing the latest hotfix. I just seem unable to track down the aircraft.cfg files. The manual refers to fsxroot/PDMG/PDMG 737 NGX/Aircraft but I can't find that either!! Must be me I know but assistance gladly received. Thanks for the advice on FSX location. I think I will leave well alone.JohnJames. I have at least tracked down the FSXroot etc ...... but that appears only to be related to the livery manager and associated files and not to "aircraft".cfg filesJohn

Bob. Thanks. I know that program86 is not ideal but I am reluctant to uninstall and start completely over, although this may be a good idea before SP1 arrives. That said I still cannot fing files titled "aircraft".cfg. The folder SimObjects is in c:\users\"username"\appdata\roaming\microsoft\FSX\SimObjects. In there are 4 PDMG folders but in each is just one file titled "state.cfg. I cannot open this to edit. Is this however what I am looking for?John

Dear All. For the life of me I cannot find the aircraft.cfg files referred to in all this thread. I have Windows 7 64 bit and FSX is installed in programs86\microsoft games\... etc. I have looked in C:\users\"username"\appdata and then local and roaming but still cannot locate. A file search for *.cfg comes up blank. Help much appreciated before I attempt to laod the latest hotfix. ThanksJohn

Frederick. You are right about the 12.5 degrees instead of 15. I hadn't noticed it until your post. John

Frederick - problem over!! The answer lay in taking more care throughout the process ensuring the correct actions were taken at the right time. I now have several satisfactory flights. Thanks again for your assistance. John

Frederick. That's all understood. ThanksJohn

Thanks Frederick. One last question then I'll try again and try the screenshot. I set everything up with 184 in Cap and FO course and 110.10 on both NAVS. However, at some point, without my intervention, it changes to 183 on both course displays. I'm guessing that makes no difference because otherwise I wouldn't even get single channel annunciated.I will end posts now given the time, try another flight and repost tomorrow with screen shot if successful.Thanks for your help so farJohn
