	I did a search on this and all I found was to use ACE to take winglets off a particular model, but it does not work for me. I know there is a way to change the aircraft config file in CS 757-200, but not sure how. I want to get rid of the winglets on the UA 757. I have downloaded and installed ACE 1.4, but the program says it is 1.3, don't know if that is OK. I have the pro pack version. Thanks, Larry

	open the aircraft config file and remove W that comes after the engine type on the model line. eg. �PWW or RRW for the texture that u want and save...hope that helps

	look at here: http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1224289649 it's explained how to add them, simply remove a "W", as rupesh said. Bye! Andrea

	I'm sure you have your reasons, but winglets are a good thing. They improve the efficiency of the aircraft by minimizing wingtip vortices. You will burn less fuel to go the same distance at the same FL at the same weight and cruise speed. Like Andrea's link points out, you can edit the manual config, but I've had no issue using ACE to add or remove them, if you use ACE correctly. It can be confusing until you learn how it expects to be used, but once these config changes are made in ACE simply reload the plane and it will load with the correct model, winglets or not. Hope it helps!

	NOTE: I'm on hiatus, concentrating on flight training. Most of what I'm flying right now is a C172N similar to what I'm training in. I'll try to check in and answer questions when I can, but please don't be impatient, I have other priorities right now! &&&&I'm not a professional pilot, but I play one on the Internet!&&&&Captain Sim 757-200/-300/Freighter FSX (62.51 hours)&&Captain Sim 727-100 FSX (26.74 hours)&&Captain Sim C-130 X-perience FSX (15.05 hours)&&Hours last updated Aug 29, 2009 18:44Z.&&&&System: AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-core 2.5Ghz, 8GB RAM, nVidia 9600GT 512MB, Windows XP 64-bit, FS9/FSX, Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System, CH Pro Pedals&&&&Join us on the Ultimate Global Tour FSHost Server - 3000 Flight Plans to every country on every continent.
