irish3 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 FSX, Acceleration, SP2...Windows 10 Was doing some investigating on a problem and I noticed I had a few OpenSky (747) acft that had more than One AIR.file. Actually has 4, only one has a later date, but the other 3 dates are the same. Have not flown this particular acft in over a year and at the moment am doing another flight, so am unable to see if there are any ill affects. My question....what is the norm for this file? Appreciate any assistance. Thanks, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Probably should be seeing only 1 .air file per aircraft. Is there a specific download for this one where you see 4? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish3 Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 LOL, I knew you'd be the first to answer...you must have the I.Q of a Vulcan :) Actually, to keep a very boring long story short my problems started when I tried to see if a FS9 B377 would port over into FSX. My fingers got the best of me and I somehow moved (?) the Airplane folder out of FSX....which lead to a host of other problems. Am slowly weeding my way back to civilization. Thanks again for the answer ! Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

napamule2 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 You say 'Acceleration, SP2'. If you have Acceleration (Gold Edition DVDs) then you should not have installed the SP2 (no need). Just wondering. And there can be 10 air files in folder. The one that will be used by the SIM is the one that the aircraft.cfg calls (using NAME not Date,etc) like this: 'sim=xxxx' (with 'xxxx' being the NAME of the air file like this: 'sim=Boeing747-400' (FSX Accel default 747).

il88pp Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 In an aircraft.cfg will be a section for each paint of it. And each paint can use a different air file. (line: sim=.. ). Different paints can be using a different model folder too sometimes. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
