Aircraft.cfg contains a list of all your RV’s available in FSX’s Select Aircraft menu.
You can remove or add new RV aircraft by editing elements in Aircraft.cfg
MS calls each aircraft element a “configuration set”
Each configuration set begins with the keyword [fltsim.n] - where n is a sequential number (0,1,2,3,etc...)
Following the keyword is a list of characteristics…including the name and a texture folder
Each new repaint needs a corresponding configuration set; to Identify its unique name and texture folder.
By convention, all repaints should include a copy of the required configuration set.
Users will be instructed to paste the provided configuration set into their own aircraft.cfg.
Bellow are four easy to use configuration set templates that correspond to each of the four RV7's.
As you may have noticed, the RV7 includes two aircraft folders (ie. two aircraft.cfg's).
This two-aircraft arrangement allows for the two gear options: 7-conventional, and 7A-tricycle
- RV7: %\Airplanes\Vans_RV7\aircraft.cfg
RV7A: %\Airplanes\Vans_RV7A\aircraft.cfg
Search and replace ###RegNum### with your chosen registration number (eg. CF-GMX)
Make note of the correct aircraft folder and aircraft.cfg
Also note, [fltsim.n] will need to be edited by the user. (eg. [fltsim.6] )
These configuration set templates are also included in the Repaint Template, repaintTemplatesV002.zip
