i guess what I am really asking is: For MSFS, in the aircraft cfg in order for AIFP to ( find the aircraft) substitute or add an aircraft.....for the flight plan to be properly configured, what is the ideal way for the info in the fltsim section to be formated. These all have variations in the title line and maybe due to Asobos....there may be a bug but lots of times these planes don't show up. They are in black in the aircraft lines. So I don't know if these variations are ok or what. Sorry to be a pain in the ass but Asobo isn't making this sim any more enjoyable by making it hard to have some old timer ai's to show up...lol... The planes are mounted but I sit there and look at an empty airport..at least here in KINT..
Obviously AIFP can find these but is there a better way for me to do these aircraft cfg's?

Thanks Don for all your hard work..just trying to understand...
