ac103010 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Just attempted to modify an addon aircraft cfg file. When I tried to save it I got an access denied error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallcott Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Save to the desktop. Then copy to the original location in your FSX setup. You will want to also save and copy the original .cfg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainsman Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I always create an edit folder. I move the .air and aircraft.cfg files into the edit folder, do the editing, save and return to main folder. That way you are not so likely to overwrite the wrong file!

jorgen.s.andersen Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I get around this issue - and many others like it - by simply turning UAC off. I don't need Microsoft to babysit my system, I do that myself. But I will say that is my own decision, and I am then fully responsible for the possible consequences...
