Okay, I KNOW this has been posted before at some point, but I couldn't figure out how to find it using the search engine.

Using AirEd, isn't there a way to make the aircraft disappear from the listing in FS, so that my list isn't so dang cluttered, but I still have them as AI?

Line 105, 'aircraft type=0', change to '=2'.

Dave - that changes the aircraft type from "normal" to "AI", but wouldn't AirEd still list the aircraft in its listing?

Basically, I believe that AirEd, and simliar programs, take the information from the aircraf.tcfg or *.air file to populate their lists, so you'll have all the models in the "AIRCRAFT" folder in the listing.

I am not aware of a "do not display AI models" check box in AirEd or other similar programs.

My interpretation of Locke's ?? was how to remove AI aircraft from the 'Select Aircraft' list in FS.

I dont know that 'Aired' presents a list (except for the 'recent' list under the 'file' menu). You 'browse' from an Explorer window to open an .air file.

Microsoft FSEdit displays a listing of all aircraft in the 'aircraft' folder, taken from the 'Title=' entry, including ai.

Again, I've only been (basically) working with CFS1 but, when I left the "name=" blank (no, don't put in the word blank or that will be the aircraft's name Roll Eyes

) in the aircraft.cfg, it had no name to list.
