Why do some of teh AI planes show in the FS menu of aircraft. I want specific AI aircraft to show up. I looked at the Aircraft.cfg files of these AI aircraft. They seem to be the same as a normal aircraft.

I am adding redux 3d light to my AI aircraft. To see the plane I need to have it shown up in FS menu so that I can select the plane as if I wanto fly the plane, so that I can see that all the lights has been added to the correct places eg landing lights especially.

Please help me to get all AI aircraft to show up in FS menu.

It depends on what FS your using.

For FS2004: You'll need the 'Aired' utility installed. If you don't have it, get v1.42 here(SimV), or Google for 'aired 1.52' for the latest version. Either will work. Install and run Aired and open the *.air file for the aircraft. Find line 105

105 *Aircraft  Type= 0  <--the aircraft is 'flyable' and in the select aircraft window

105 *Aircraft  Type=2  <--ai only, not in the select aircraft window.

For FSX: just add a panel folder with a panel.cfg file. Can be any panel, doesn't have to 'match' the aircraft, in fact the panel.cfg can be an 'empty' file.
