Do you actually "use" all 120 planes at any one time...?
Why not move many of the rarely used ones to a spare folder...?
Out of the 50-odd downloaded planes in my FS 2002, there are only a dozen of my favourites in my current hangar, therefore easy to find quickly, the rest are in my spare folder.
It must be a horrendous job scrolling through 120 planes to find the one you want... ...!

...just a thought... ...!

It may be that CFS 2 is different to FS 2002, but I find that if I "window" FS 2002, minimise it, open up the FS 2002 folder, on the desktop, drag the new plane(s) in to my current hangar, maximise it, go back into full-screen mode, go for "aircraft" in the menu, it's generally there after a few scrollings up and down...LOL...!

P.S. ..FS 2002 is laid back, plenty of time to do this...
....CFS 2, when you want to swop to your best fighter quickly, then time is not on your side...LOL...LOL...LOL...!

Ah, the good old 100 plane limit. It comes into play when I have about 98 planes installed. Over two installs of CFS2 I have about 400 planes! Inside the main CFS2 folder I have a folder called Hanger. Both my installs have all the gauges and weapons etc. for all the planes I've ever installed so it is not much of a problem to just move planes from the hangers into either install.
One thing I have noticed is that when you click OK to the two error messages, click again on Fly Now and it loads and flys just fine in both Free Flight and Quick Combat.

Hi there Hagar, hope you enjoyed your recent flight!
It's funny how these things crop up, but I've just added a new 3rd party plane and spent an hour or so in free flight getting a screen shot or two. However, tried it in QC and it crashed to desktop. I played around with it for a bit and in the end just moved a couple of planes to the hanger and Hey Presto, QC works just fine! It just goes to show how strange CFS2 can be when you get close to that limit and how shifting a plane or two can sort it out!

Thanks for the insight people.

I've moved some planes to an "Internal hanger" and the "2 messages" problem has stopped. Although it was omly the A6M2_ZERO that kept coming up on mine. That was the only plane that "disappeared" from the list.

I would seem to have another problem which I thought was connected to the "limit" issue, but it seems there's more to it.

There are still about 6 planes that will not show up, but seeing as they are recent installs, I'm sure they never did show up. They are all GC planes (if that means anything) that is, they all have a GC prefix before the aircraft model name.
I've tried everything, even removing the panels and sound folders (if they had their own) and replacing them with simple alias folders. This hasn't even worked.

Any suggestions? 

Hi Brensec.

The A6M2_ZERO is a default aircraft so make sure this is installed & available on the Free Flight menu. If not, this could explain your problem with the GC (Groundcrew) aircraft as the sound could be aliased to it. The GC guys know their stuff & you should have no problems with it.

Foz,

are all of your planes CFS/CFS 2?

In my experience, Civilian airplanes have a limit of 50 so if if you have them, they could be the problem

brensec,
I've noticed that if you have too many Megs in your game that will do it to. also don't remove any stock planes from the game or it won't load either. I did this by accident and had to reload the core files that allow for 3rd party Planes in your Reinstall list.

P.s  Plane in question F4U-1A, Got it confused with another Corsair. Just my Luck!

Thanks for all the suggestions people.

Although, the same advice does seem to be getting repeated over again. (Not that I don't appreciate input - Thank You).

To save everyone the trouble of going over the same obvious stuff over and over:
I have all the 'stock' aircraft installed. I have less than 60 planes in the Aircraft folder now (counting those with extra textures or more than one model etc).
I am aware of the possiblility of having another install of cfs2 to carry the rest of my planes but I prefer to keep them in a 'hanger'.

The problem concerning the 'two error messages' has been solved by removing some of the aircraft to a 'hanger' but I still have a problem with Free Flight and QC not initialising and the GC planes not working.
Hagar suggested a complete uninstall/install will fix both of these problems but I haven't got around to it yet (because I hate doing it - I have to remove and save all my add-ons first so that parts of them won't be overwritten) anyway........
