Coyote you are right. You do not need the stock planes. Its not rediculous but not necessary. You still will have 70 plus planes in every Hangar multiply by 18, that I believe will give you more than one thousand planes per install. You can also simulate those hypothetical arial dual that never really happen. Like a Corsair vs a Bf 109 or Fw190 vs a Zero. Perhaps a Yak9 vs a Hellcat. Those are very interesting hypothetical duals if you ask me.
Thats one heck of a lot planes. This is what you can do to make those Pacific stock planes not needed in your European Install not to show up.
Go to My computer /Local disk C/Program files/Microsoft games/Combat flight Simulator2 folder. Look for a file call mdlnames.dat . Open it with notepad and look for the planes you want to neutralize by placing a coma or anything else in front of the plane you want out of your Hangar. Thats it.
I just forgot about this. You can also change the name of the Texures folder in the Ac folder you do not want to appear to something like Texure 2 or something similar. That should work as well. Remember many addon planes use stock planes sounds. You got to replace them with some other appropiate sound.
You can do the same with the folder call QUICKCOM. You need to change the order of the planes in quick combat setup.
Remember to back every thing up just in case.
