How ya doing Yancovitch.
Whats happening is this,
in the aircraft.cfg file you have this:

[fltsim.0]
title=Cessna Skyhawk 172SP Paint1
sim=Cessna172SP
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=1
kb_checklists=Cessna172SP_check
kb_reference=Cessna172SP_ref
atc_id=G-BAFM
ui_manufacturer="Cessna"
ui_type="C172SP Skyhawk"
ui_variation=" Blue, Gold"
ui_typerole="Single Engine Prop"
ui_createdby="Microsoft Corporation"

fltsim.1
title=Cessna Skyhawk 172SP Paint2
sim=Cessna172SP
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=2
kb_checklists=Cessna172SP_check
kb_reference=Cessna172SP_ref
atc_id=HB-MES
ui_manufacturer="Cessna"
ui_type="C172SP Skyhawk"
ui_variation=" White,Green"
ui_typerole="Single Engine Prop"
ui_createdby="Microsoft Corporation"

So say you downloaded another Cessna Skyhawk
172SP Paint1, you would have to change the title to something diffrent such as Paint3 and if it's a standalone in it's own folder, that's all you have to do.

But if it's a texture that your adding to your 172SP, just make sure it has it's own title and all you have to do is make sure you add it in by putting in the next fltsim.#:

[fltsim.2]
title=Cessna Skyhawk 172SP TEXTURE add-on
sim=Cessna172SP
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=3
kb_checklists=Cessna172SP_check
kb_reference=Cessna172SP_ref
atc_id=N176CM
atc_id_color=0xffffffff
ui_manufacturer="Cessna"
ui_type="C172SP Skyhawk"
ui_variation=" Orange, Black"
ui_typerole="Single Engine Prop"
ui_createdby="Microsoft Corporation"

That's all there is to it!

Have you checked thru the ..\simobjects\airplanes\ folder to see if you have (or had) multiple installs of the same aircraft? (same aircraft with different folder names)

After the removal, do the aircraft still appear in the 'select aircraft' window. This would indicate you had 2 installs of each.

Hi,

I see no title duplicates in the data you submitted.
Try this. Go to the FSX.cfg file in your AppData and check the [Main] section. Note all the SimobjectPaths. Chances are the Aircraft are duplicated in two of these folders. Delete the ones in the folder that seems inappropriate.

I don't see a problem with the maules.

And I'm not sure if the (parentheses) in the raptor titles makes a difference.

I'd try letting your pc do a search to see if theres duplicates somewere.

If nothing comes up, try doing the ol Let the sim write a new fsx.cfg file trick.

If that don't work, I'd delete the offending aircraft
(as far as the maules go) you can use the repair option to have them replaced.

and the raptors are addons so I'd just reinstall them with a fresh download. Goodluck!
