Jan -

Your problem may be the way NOTEPAD saves a text file the first time it sees it. If a cfg file is not set to be recognized, opened and saved as an ANSI / *all files*, it will try to save it as a .txt file. That is why FSX may not read it.

Try saving it as "SAVE AS", aircraf.cfg, make sure the ANSI and *all files* options are selected.

Also, change your WINDOWS file association for all .cfg files to NOTEPAD.

The above is a common mistake -

Hello

This is what you need to put into your CFG.

[General]
performance=
atc_type=BOEING
atc_model=B703
Category=airplane

It should be marked as B703 as the ICAO Code for this type of aircraft, all variants from 707 Captain actually, that way it will identify you as a Boeing 707 Heavy. 707 is the type rating necessary to fly the craft not the ICAO you use to file a flight plan and used by ATC also to identify the Wake turbulence and maneuvering profiles.
