hey all,i dont want most of the stock planes in my FSX.SE hanger,back in FS9 ,i was told to copy the .cab files from the gauges? folders..but i dont want them left in the file folders part in explorer,make that list shorter,so what can i do to keep the pertinent files in the sim,with out having to have the entier plane folders in it?..

Rename their panel folders to panel.bak

but that leaves the entire plane folder IN the fsx simobjects /airplanes folder does it not?......i want all those folders out of there..

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but for aircraft I want out of sight, but not necessarily permanently retired, I simply cut and past the entire aircraft folder from fsx/SimObjects/Airplanes (rotocraft also) and paste them into an 'FSX Hanger' folder on a different drive. I leave the gauges, effects and sounds alone (they're generally don't take up too much disk space anyway) so if i want to reactivate a hangered aircraft, I just copy it's folder back into fsx.

This saves me precious space on my SSD (where FSX is installed) and keeps my set of flyable aircraft down to a manageable list.
