Greetings,iv`e recently edited some aircraft .xdp files to change cockpit size but it appears some not all fail and become corrupted i`m using ''wordpad'' as adobe reader won`t work,is there any other option to download?

You would be better using Notepad, or a text file editor like XMLWrench. There are others, no doubt the members will suggest their favourites. Wordpad is a cut-down word processor and will insert non-printing characters unless you’re very careful to save as plain text. That’s why you get fails, when the sim reads the non-printing characters.

Yes like Tom says, I find XML Wrench is good. If there is an error in your aircraft xdp, XMLWrench will tell you the exact line and position of the fault.
