Members, I've begun modifying and uploading aircraft.cfg files for each aircraft used in our virtual airline. These modified aircraft.cfg files simplify the payload section of the aircraft to make it easier to add the correct weights for flight crew, passengers, and cargo. You can find these files for download in the Documents section below Virtual Airline in the FSAirlines Crew Center page. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve this even further, please leave a comment.

If you are using Just Flight Traffic Global, you may see some AI Aircraft with weird issues such as the landing gear sunken into the ground or effects not displaying correctly. If you see anything out of the ordinary, please comment to this post. I recently noticed that the ATR42 AI Aircraft's front landing gear was sunken into the ground. I was able to find it's folder, and I modified the front landing gear contact point to fix it. Here is it's folder... Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\TrafficGlobal\TrafficGlobalFleet\JFAI_ATR42 Open it's aircraft.cfg file with notepad, scroll down until you see [contact_points] Change contact point.0 to... point.0=1, 24.856, 0.00, -6.9 , 1181.1, 0, 1.442, 55.92, 0.8, 2.5, 0.9, 4.0, 4.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0 Notice the only part you should change is the 4th entry (after the 3rd comma) which is listed above in red. I will continue to fix these issues as I notice them during my flights. It's best to keep track of these fixes, because this program is continuing to be updated by it's developers. Chances are these issues may be overlooked in future versions, so they'll need to be applied again.

If you bought the Carenado SR22 GTSx Turbo, you may have noticed that you cannot adjust the course using the course knob. Also, the HSI/CDI will always show the needle point to 000. One easy solution I found is to make a change in the SR22's panel.cfg. Open your SimObjects\Airplanes\Carenado SR22_GTSX\panel\panel.cfg with notepad. Scroll down to the [Vcockpit01] section, and change it to... [Vcockpit01] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=512,512 visible=0 pixel_size=1024,1024 texture=$Panel_1 //gauge00=SR22_G1000!G1000_config, 0, 0, 1, 1 //gauge01=SR22_G1000!COMMON_UPDATE_G1000PFD, 0, 0, 1, 1 //gauge02=SR22_G1000!G1000_PFDSR22VC, 0,0, 512, 354 //gauge03=SR22!ToggleCARG1000, 60,0,390, 25 gauge00=SR22_G1000!G1000_config, 0,0, 1, 1 gauge01=SR22_G1000!G1000_PFDSR22, 0,0,512,354 gauge02=SR22!ToggleCARG1000, 60,0,390, 25 gauge04=Carenado_G1000_SVS\WebSimSVS!WebSimSVS,1,1,1,1,C_G1000.ini gauge05=SR22_G1000!COMMON_UPDATE_G1000PFD, 0, 0, 1, 1 The course knob is still useless, but at least it will display the correct course when you create a flight plan or direct to using the GPS.
