Perhaps I'm the only one that didn't know this, but I discovered something interesting about the FSX file structure. I had just flown Alphasim's F-101 after quite a bit of time of it being "hangar bound" and wished to make a couple minor changes to the Aircraft.cfg. I looked in simobjects\airplanes and lo and behold it wasn't there. How could this be..? I just flew it..it must be in the "airplane" folder. It wasn't. What I discovered is that a few months ago I had cataloged some of the aircraft by virtue of type: Warbird, military jet, military cargo, etc. and placed them in folders with the corresponding names under simobjects. I looked in the military jet folder and there was the F-101. I hadn't realized that FSX will load any and everything if it's in a type folder under simobjects. All of these show up under the aircraft selection menu. What I don't know tho, how to edit the "type" headings. Perhaps they're listed in FSX. cfg or the XML file somewhere. Who knew?? Learn something new everyday...terry
