You could also create a Hangar subfolder in CFS2\Aircraft & drag aircarft you're not using into it. Providing you don't move the defaults or aircraft used in 3rd party missions this should work fine. I find the best method is a duplicate install of CFS2. Simply rename the CFS2 root directory folder to any other name, then insert the CD & install in the usual way. You can have as many "duplicates" as you wish & all will run completely independently. For example: you could have CFS2 WWI, CFS2 Europe, CFS2 Pacific, CFS2 Jets, CFS2 Korea, anything you like.

PS. Some people have told me they've never suffered from an aircraft limit in CFS2. I can only assume they didn't install the Mission Builder, if that's possible.

BlackBird686 Hangar Idea works very well. The only problem with it, its that you need a lot Hard drive space to many different CFS2 install. With ACMan allows you to use all your planes in just one install. you can the same MB. All you need to do is change the Hangar and will have a new set of planes.

You use what ever method you like or suites you the best.

I do recommend that the download ACMan anyway just in case you would like to use it some time in the future.

I also reccommend that you download the ship Manager as well.

Remember there is also a limit of ships as well. You can manage them with the ship manager at:

you can mange them by Theater if you want.

AcMan should be fine as it's one of Martin Wright's utilities. Same goes for ShipMan which you might notice is posted exclusively at CG's Shipyard which is part of the Fox Four site. I prefer the duplicate install myself as this means you can have a completely different CFS2 for each theatre.

I am currently running about 300 planes in CFS2 without any hangar solution! I had the 100 planes limit back in the old days with win98. Now: ANY NUMBER of aircraft available with win xp (any sp) and 1 Gig of ram, on several machines, some with less than 1 G ram. Just the mission editor refuses to run when you've got more than about 60 aircraft installed.

Hagar Cfs2 in reality dose not have a strick limit on how many planes you can install in it. Well it does but have limit in the number planes you can install in it before it stops from working.

The number is quite large for what have read in other forums.

Its about 800 to 1000 depending on the size of the on planes folders.

The reason you should not place more than 100 planes in each Hangar its because the Mission Builder will stop  working after that.

For the most  part you should only place no more than 85  planes in each Folder before you start testing the Mission Builder to see if its still working.

The maximum is from 95 to 100 before your Mission Builder will stop working.

Now if you do not care for Building Missions. Install as many planes as you want. The limit is quite high. Just enjoy it.

PS, I found a way around this limitation on the Mission Builder a while back.

Install the Cfo program.
1.http://www.cfsops.com/Modules/cfo_weather/Cfo_Weather_75.htm

Run the CFS2 program
1.Go to Free flight.
2.Press Atl
3.Look for on the top of the sreen for Cfo_Weather
4.Scroll down to Go to
5.click on Mission Builder

Through this route for reason unknown to me it accepts higher numbers of planes than through the conventional way. The exact number it will accept I do not know?

The only draw back its you can only test your Missions by starting the games itself.

But it works.

Try it out Guys, and you will see.

If you try it
please tell me if it worked for you.

Hagar it works . I just test it with over 150 planes in it, and it worked like a charm. Maybe you did not understand my instructions but Hagar and all other who are reading this post you can try it.

This will open your possibilities ten fold. If you get the corrupt messege reminder when you go to quick combat just overide it with a click with your mouse.

I will give you a better explanation tonight.

Best regard
