Good afternoon all...

Before I get myself in a heap of trouble again I am asking this question.

Will it hurt my FSX system if I delete from the FSX SimObjects:
-Boeing 747...FSX
-Airbus..........FSX
-Augusta/Westland EH101....Acceleration
-Boeing F18........................Acceleration
-P51..................................Acceleration

I never use any of them.

Thanks...Doug

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

It might, since many addons have various things, like the sound, aliased to the default aircraft, and many addons also use some of the gauges from the default aircraft.

It would be safer to delete addon aircraft you do not fly (Or store them in a "Hanger" folder).

Indeed Doug, it can only create trouble to remove them. You won't earn any benefit from this deletion anyways.

If you want to remove them from the airplane list, what you can do is to rename all of their respective aicraft.cfg. Name the files something like "aircraft.cfg.original". That shold be enough for FSX to consider the plane invalid and remove it from the list, but the other planes will nevertheless be able to use sounds, gauges etc....

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?
