Hi Joe:Thanks for the info. As it happens, the first FSX I purchased was the Deluxe version, but I soon discovered that it wouldn't do everything I wanted (or it lacked in someway that I no longer remember), so I purchased the Standard version and the Acceleration version.It makes absolutely no sense that EVERY VERSION of FSX doesn't have exactly the same features (maybe)! Or maybe I should have said, there should be ONLY ONE version of FSX.However, all this does not explain why the FTX, Avalon, and random others, aren't available in FSX, unless MicroSoft has included some bit of code that prevents any aircraft but theirs from being available!Joe ShotwellEldorado, Texas

Hi Rusty:Well, that could be the in some cases, however, I have aircraft that originated with Orbx, Avalon, and others (such as the Maule) that appear to be from random sources. Oh, the Maule is discussed in the Learning Center's Aircraft Information page(s), as though it was available for flying - but it does not appear on the aircraft selection page!So, it appears that there must be another reason why at least some of these aircraft are not available. But thanks for the response!Joe ShotwellEldorado, Texas

When I attempt to change an Aircraft in FSX, I am presented with the usual list of Aircraft. However, in my /SimObject/Airplanes folder there are many more aircraft listed than appear in the Aircraft selection page. I have not been able to detect a reason for some aircraft being presented for selection and others not being presented. Does anyone know why?
