Name changes (Read 292 times)

Awhile back there was a thread on how to change the names on the add-on aircraft so that it would change where they show on the select-a-flight list. I cannot find it.

I did a search but apparently did not use the right search words. Any ideas?

Thanks

Not exactly what you're looking for but this explains the basic principle.  Wink

OSO. THE INFORMATION THAT YOU WANT TO CHANGE IS FOUND IN THE AIRCRAFT.CFG FILE. AS AN EXAMPLE OPEN UP ONE OF THE CONFIG FILES FOR A STOCK FS2002 AIRCRAFT AND YOU'LL FIND THIS INFO. ui_MANUFACTURER= BOEING OR XXX
ui_TYPE= 737-400 OR XXX
ui_VARIATION PACIFIC AIRWAYS OR XXX.
YOU NEED TO CHANGE THESE 3 LINES TO SUIT THE PLANE YOU ARE TRYING TO GET TO SHOW IN IN THE CORRECT PLACE IN THE LIST ON FIRST PAGE OF MS2002.
HOPE THIS HELPS.

The same basic principle applies Oso.  I open the new aircraft file and an existing aircraft file next to each other and simply add in the lines that are missing.
