    Thanks, Bill. Good stuff. The challenges (and learning curve) are coming from adding textures and porting over some aircraft from FS9. I'm learning that when textures are added to FSX aircraft, not all the readme.txt entries are consistent which in turn caused the issue I first posted. Same goes for some port-over aircraft from FS9 as the FS9 aircraft.cfg goes by different rules.

    You ain't gonna believe this.... but I figured it out. You might want to sit down for this one. As I mentioned earlier, I purchased the Flight Leader X from Warbirdsim and added a lot of repaints. Well, what I found out is that the entry for had a different ui_manufacturer= entry. Every one of the entries including the default textures had a ui_manufacturer= North American. The only one that showed up properly had ui_manufacturer= North American Aviation (all without quotes, BTW). As it just so happens my install of the Warbirdsim P-51D also has ui_manufacturer= North American Aviation, so this might have been a factor as well. Anyways, all I had to do was to make every manufacturer entry as 'North American Aviation' and now all the aircraft are listed under Warbirdsim. :isadizzy:

    There are 53 entries The changes only affect , meaning it is the only aircraft that appears under a "Single Engine Prop" or "Warbirdsim". The additions I made to each aircraft were copied from another, working aircraft.cfg. The only thing modified was for 'ui_createdby='. I'm still trying to figure out why 1 out of 53 works, but the other 52 do not. If there is a typo, I haven't found it. Sigh. :sleep:

    Over the weekend I decided to get a few P-51 Mustangs over to my FSX install, so I picked up the Warbirdsim Flight Leader X and spent a good part of yesterday adding repaints and flying around. Towards the end of the day I decided to add some missing lines to each entry to associate the planes with Warbirdsim and added the following lines for each entry: ui_typerole="Single Engine Prop" ui_createdby="Warbirdsim" Today I discovered that this works with only one entry, and all the other entries are still listed as 'Unknown' for some unknown reason. Why would it work for one entry and not the others?? :salute: Weird. Just plain weird.

    the Greek Phantoms are regularly found at Andravida AB, Tanagra AB, Larissa AB... occasionally Aktion and sometimes Souda AB, only time you'd likely see them above Rodos is if they're toying with a Turkish F-16 who's sniffing around the border :icon_lol: i don't think it's economics... well partially it is, but along with the A-7's they're Greeces Primary attack aircraft and until next spending review (next year) no replacements can be looked at... but in saying that Greece have looked at Flanker and Typhoon... to replace the Mirage's as i recall, Phantom once again is too loved and keeps escaping the retirement :icon_lol:

    sad to hear this i lived under the Approach at Larissa AB in Greece till i was 6 or 7-ish... Phantoms were my daily fix... used to go right over the top of the house, i remember my mum being angry once because she had put an empty glass on the wall just as a Phantom was doing a pass for some event, it hit the burners to climb right over the house and the glass went 'walkies' off the wall... me laughing, my mum shooing me away from the broken glass :icon_lol: good news is Ferry that Greece have no plans to retire theirs any time soon, they're determined to be the last Phantom Operator, so the old 'brick' (there's a saying 'the RF-4E, flying proof that given enough thrust even a brick can fly') will be about for a few years yet...

    ACA2007 lite is what I've been using for FS9, and somewhat for FSX. The problem is that with FSX it gives false errors whenever textures are aliased to another aircraft. Yesterday, I tried their latest version 1.0.6 (I believe) and it creates an exception error under Win8. Fortunately, I had a copy of their earlier version 1.0.0 that still works but with the false readings as stated.

    Thanks, Dave. Never knew you could control the GPWS settings. I assume your settings deactivate the warnings entirely. I would just like to modify them, or even change them to a female voice if possible. I might just tinker with these to see if I can increase the thresholds before the warnings are activated. This section sepcifies the details of the ground proximity warning system.

    Anyone modified or replaced the default GPWS sounds? I took advantage of the recent RAZBAM sale and picked up their Corsair II packages. It's a fun airplane to fly, but it uses the default GPWS warnings which drive me nuts when flying around the Cascades or coming in for a landing. I came across at GPWS Silencer freeware by Aaron R. Swindle, but there's no documentation on what it does or what it replaces. In searching my FSX install I did find that the default F-18 has a set of GPWS files with a female voice, so I'm thinking about swapping out the default files in the \Sound folder with these just to get a more pleasant warning. For some reason a male voice warning me about 'Terrain' or 'Sink Rate' just doesn't seem right. Anyways, I thought I'd see if anyone else has some experience to share.
