How do I get into this esteemed Aircraft cfg. file??? Which of the three discs is it on? The only options I have for 2K2 in the Programs menu are to Run it or Uninstall it.
Any help greatly appreciated (but please bear in mind i'm not a computer genius!)

There is an Aircraft.cfg file in the folder of each aircraft you have installed to FS2002 & all addon aircraft. It might be named Aircraft depending on how your Windows Explorer folder options are set. You can open & edit CFG files in Notepad.
PS. Please visit my Lair from the link in my sig. Read my "Windows Basics" & "Working with Windows" articles for tips on making this easier.

Double-click on the Aircraft.cfg file you wish to edit. Select Notepad from the list of programs, click OK & it will open in Notepad. Alternatively right-click on the file & select Open With. This is explained in my Working with Windows article I mentioned in my earlier reply.

Please take time to read it along with my Windows Basics article.
Please back up any file you intend editing first. To back up any file right-click on it & select Copy from the drop-down menu. Then right-click anywhere in a clear space & select Paste. You will now have a copy of the file named Copy of Whatever in the same folder as the original. If anything goes wrong you can delete the edited version & rename the back-up copy to its original file name.
