Hi Jeff.

You need to edit the CS 707-300 aircraft config file so you will no longer be flying an "Experimental".

This is how it is in the default aircraft.cfg file:
[General]
performance=
atc_type=
atc_model=
Category=airplane


This is what you need to change it to:
[General]
performance=See Flight Manual <- I just added that because I wanted to.
atc_type=BOEING
atc_model=B707
Category=airplane

That's okay Nathan. I had to read it a few times to figure out what he was on about.

I actually figured that one out on my computer on the day I installed v1.2 and so I had not heard it for so long that I had to think hard as to why it would do that. I always spend the first few hours after installing a new addon aircraft making small changes to suit me.

Besides. To err is human. Wink

I thought you do that to add new atc_airline, ui_manufacturer, atc_type and atc_model into the voice pack.

Yes, I had the same problem and changed the aircraft.cfg file as you said, but ATC only ever identifies me as "Boeing", and not "Boeing 707" - I had the same problem with the 727 Captain too.

Hi,

as said above:

1. Get EditVoicePackX (and understand how to use it)
2. add entries in "Aircraft"->"Model" for "B727" and "B707" (this one works only if you changed the aircraft.cfg as described above, B727 works by default)
3. apply the changes!


=> DONE!


Merry Xmas,

Stefan

atc_type=BOEING
atc_model=B707

First of all. I'm not a PC tech champ.I am trying to do a/m instruction but where exactly is the aircraft.cfg file in CS707 ?
If I want to open a random cfg file, which program do I have to use to overwrite the file ?

Thanks kind help Wink

Hi Jan,

The aircraft.cfg is located in the following location depending on where you installed it.

If you did the default installation it will be in:

c:\program files\microsoft games\flight simulator x\simobjects\aircraft\cs707_320
there you will find an aircraft.cfg file and you can open it by using notepad.

change the atc_type to BOEING and you be fine.

Edwin Thanks for help

Made the change but cannot save if. Any suggestions ? Cry 

In Dutch because we both are from Holland.

Edwin hoi

Woon je toevallig in de buurt van Schiphol ?
Zou ik eens bij je kunnen kijken (of jij bij mij) hoe het 707 nou precies werkt. Je kunt me bereiken op jankoppen[@]quicknet.nl

Dank je,

JK Smiley

Hi Jan.

Try copying the aircraft.cfg file to your desktop, then open it, edit it and save it. Now copy the cone from the desktop into your CS_B707-300 folder and allow it to overwrite the on already in there.

Hope this helps.
