ghembree Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 How to save add on aircraft files so fsxpilot will recognize new aircraft. Using windows 10 I get access denied. Does someone know a procedure that will save files to note pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 If you have FSX in the default location you can open the aircraft and it's cfg file, then change all permission levels checking off each one to allow you to make changes.

mrzippy Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 What you need to do is be able to edit things in your FSX files that are being protected by UAC. Google search about temporary disable of UAC so you can make your changes. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Right Click on the Icon for aircraft.cfg and find out if it's LOCKED. The alternative method is to copy aircraft.cfg file then past it to the desktop. Edit the cfg. Then do 'Save' and say yes to over ride. Then drag cfg from desktop to where you got cfg from and say yes to replace.

dogdish Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Another option is to right click Notepad and 'Run as ADMINISTRATOR' then open the file you want to edit. Then UAC won't stop you from editing anything in the C:\Program Files directory.

cactus jack Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Had same problem today. Open the properties of your file then look in security section and edit the settings that allow users to modify the file. Not at my computer now so can't be more exact for you. You can also try to open the file as administrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sford Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 out of curiosity- 1) can you "Save as" save the file as aircraft_new.cfg ? (then exit notepad) 2) if so, can you the delete the original aircraft.cfg ? 3) if so, can you the rename the new aircraft_new.cfg to aircraft.cfg ? all in the same subdirectory (4/16/19) ASUS ROG Strix GL702VS-AH73 17.3" Laptop.

ghembree Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 I believe all files must be listed in order in this same setup so fsxpilot will recognize the aircraft. Originally I did this same operation using windows 7 and it worked fine. With windows 10 from day one it would never allow add on aircraft to be recognized. Using msf and default aircraft with autopilot everything works good. You would think windows 10 would provide a procedure to allow this method just like windows 7.

il88pp Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 the issue is you have the program (fsxpilot_2_4) in c\program files (x86)\ saving there UAC wiill not allow. was the same in win7. there are workarounds. for example, install outside of c:\program files (x86)\ and outside of c:\program files or the other workarounds mentioned earlier in this thread.

sford Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Ghembree- I'm going to retract my work around and just agree with il and the others. I think your best bet, as a quick workaround, is to temporarily turn off UAC. Here's a great link: http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-turn-off-and-disable-uac-in-windows-10/ use option 1.
