Aircraft cfg file (Read 5705 times)

	I am trying to save changes made to the cfg file but I receive an error message saying access is denied. The UAC is turned OFF. In the past I have probably made 20-25 changes to cfg and ini files and saved the changes. Anyone have any thoughts as to what might be going on? Thank you Michael Cubine

	Youre not running FSX while you are doing those edits, are you? That would generate an access denied error.

I make changes to my aircraft.cfg while FSX is running AND I am using the plane that is using that same aircaft.cfg. I have been doing it that way for years so I can reload the plane to see the results of my changes immediately. Michael. Have you tried copying it to the desktop, modifying and saving it there and then pasting it back where it belongs? Mark

	Mark I copied the cfg file to the DT. I still could not save the changes. I right clicked on the file went into properties, changed the security settings. I enabled UAC and then turned it off just to make sure it was off. Nothing worked. This is interesting. I have Dell laptop with FSX on it. I disabled the UAC, changed the cfg file and saved it. I could save that cfg file to a DVD and replace the cfg file on this computer I am using but the two cfg files are not the same. Screw it. I have wasted enough time already. Thanks Michael Cubine

	I had the same problem with Vista, even with UAC turned off. This is how I got around it. Open Notepad by right clicking on it, and opening as administrator. Then find your .cfg file with opened notepad. Make your changes, and save, and you should be good. Works for me.

	Greg What you suggested worked even with the UAC turned on. Thanks Michael Cubine

	Its very simple just move the aircraft.cfg file out of the aircraft file for example move it to my documents make your changes, saved adn move the cfg file back to the original folder, that`s how I do it. I hope it work for you.
