What needs to be changed/added so aircraft show up in the list when displaying "any" aircraft?

a simple answer: nothing

the "any" list simply removes the manufacturer filter, so you can see all planes in the same list, instead of separated by maker (as it were before fs2002) Roll Eyes

when a plane doesn't have a manufaturer specified it'll appear under "unspecified"

if a plane does not show up in the "any" list that means it doesn't appear in any list at all Tongue

if that's the case, make sure you have it properly installed (many times planes will folder themselves up inside their target folder when installed, then FS is unable to find them) Wink

hope this helps

Skittles,

If Moach's suggestions don't work for you, then you will need to check a couple of things in the aircraft.cfg. (If you don't know how to do this, then you can open it up in Notepad, but make sure you take a backup first.)

- the "title=" line in the [fltsim.x] sections all must be different, or else the repaint with the same name will not show up

- the "sim=" line in the [fltsim.x] sections must be exactly the same as the .air file name, minus the .air extension - or else the plane won't show up

- check that the name that you expect to see is in the "ui_manufacturer" line. For example, sometimes tha plane designer will put their name instead of the original real plane maker - so in the FS listing, you might get something like 'Project Opensky' instead of 'Boeing', so you need to check your listing carefully.

I am quite familar with the aircraft's config file. My friend installed an F-14 and F-18. Both did not appear in the "ANY" list. They did appear in the respective manufacture's list. But apparently, as I just found out, he had installed the aircraft while the sim was running, so, after a restart of FS, all is well.

Thank you for the responses, next time I'll be more suspicious of his installs.
