I did a Restore in Windows XP to try to clear up a different problem, and when I did I lost all of my Add on A/C in FS2002.  The directories are all still in the right places, the files are in the correct directories, but FS2002 refuses to recognize them in the Choose Aircraft menu.  What the heck is going on?  The aircraft folder is loaded with aircraft files but fs2002 only displays the default a/c.  Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, System Restore will vape ALL cfg files on the hard drive no matter what they are.  Thanks M$!

If you have a Second hard drive (as opposed to another partition on the same drive) or a CD burner, undo your restore point and backup all your add-on aircraft.  Re-do the restore point and restore your backup.

As MY system is in a constant state of flux I make a restore point whenever I install new aircraft or create one of my own as a matter of course.

Here's hoping you have a stable enough ystem to do all this when you undo your restore point, of course.

Good thinking Joe. Glad my suggestion helped. It was only a wild guess but it had to be something simple.

PS. Thanks to Gnome for confirming it. Another one for the little black book. 8)
