• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Loading New Aircraft File Every Time

I noticed the other day that you have to create a new aircraft file every time that you loaded the program, unless that specific aircraft is in your current flight plans opened.
 
One way to deal with that would be to load a plan that has the planes you want, delete the flight plans, and add new ones.

Or create an aircraft file that contains most/all of the aircraft you use that file as the starting point for each new flight plan file. AIFP will delete unused aircraft (if you wish) prior to compiling, so unnecessary memory consumption by the traffic file is not an issue.

So..."Load New Aircraft Text File" means "Load New Aircraft Text File". I saw that but I thought it ment "Lets order pizza".

Oh, Baby!

I guess I'm easily confused. There's a "Save Aircraft List" option, and I was looking for a matching "Load Aircraft List" option. The "New" threw me off. My college degree was in Music, not English.

The reason for the "new" is because the Aircraft List gets loaded automatically whenever a Flight Plan or traffic file is loaded. It really should say "Alternate" - a change I'll make for the benefit of Music majors.:D

Don
 
Or no adjective (I had to look that up) at all. Although now that I know what it does, no change is needed. I could not find anything in the manual about it. Maybe that's where the change could be.

Bob
 
I had seen that also. I had thought that "New" had more to do with making a new list ( even though there is another option for this) rather that loading an old one. Well, I've already made an idiot of myself on this, so maybe everything is OK.
