Dedicated AI aircraft folder

During my research before committing my money to P3D, I saw somewhere that you can create a dedicated folder for your AI aircraft outside the SimObjects folder.

Creating the folder itself is no problem, but how do you link it to P3D? The [MAIN] section in P3D looks different from FSX.

Thanks in advance for any help -

Emile,

I need to apologise for not getting back to you before now to say thank you for that tip. The reason is that I have been working with the author of AIFP to make this work, and there seems to be some issues here. I will report back when I have any news on this.

Thanks again -

Jorgen

Emile,

It works! If I only could spell Entry right.....

I found this over at AVSIM; http://www.nzfsim.org/index.php?dsp=P3D

Hi,

I did not use XML , I feel not confident as I do not know how to use XML

I don't use the XML method either, but there might be occasions where you'll have to edit an XML file. To do that, I have found Notepad++ easy to use.

XML files are simply edited like any other, using an appropriate program. Try Notepad+ + as Jorgen suggests.

Editing .xml files is a necessary skill for a P3DV4 user as it complies with L-M instructions.

If you won't do it, perhaps Prepar3D is not the sim for you?

+1!

Damn, we agreed on something AGAIN! Hope that doesn't get to be a habit... :)

Sorry, but when we're right we're RIGHT ! :p

I am increasingly seeing P3D simmers who have migrated from FSX and are busy trying to make P3D act like FSX.

First of all, one needs to recognise: P3D IS NOT FSX.

Adopt all the new skills and expertise seems to be something that FSX simmers cannot or will not do. They've been stymied with the lack of development.

P3d is already at v4.2 at time of writing.

`Adapt or die`, as the expression goes.

Correct, P3D looks a lot like FSX and in many ways is like FSX, but the bottom line is that it is not, and in some ways is very different from FSX.
