gmoreira 29 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hi there, how can we substitute "the old plane" for the new magnificent piece of software on the AAA addon? Still love flying there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Goncarlo, Have you tried this: Question: Can I use my favourite aircraft in the ASC career mode?Answer: Yes, you can! Let me explain how the aircraft management works in the ASC career: There are 4 different aircraft used in the ASC career:5Y-ASB= Maule / Bush Hawk5Y-ASC= C208 Caravan5Y-ASR= Robinson R22 helicopter5Y-AST= King Air / Twin Otterand additional: 5Y-ASA = duplicate C208 (do not change this!) 5Y-ASD = Dash 8 (only used as AI traffic) The full names of those aircraft are African Safari Charter - 5Y-AS?. (you can find those in the aircraft.cfg files) The installer makes sure that each of them is only used once, so if you own the Twotter you won't have an 5Y-AST King Air.This is important, because if you have duplicate names the mission will crash! Now, if you want to exchange aircraft you will have to exchange their names. Let's give an example for this: WARNING: Those changes should only be done by experienced users, who have worked with aircraft.cfg files before! Say, you want to use the 6-seat Bell JetRanger instead of the 2-seat Robinson, you do this: Find the sim.cfg in the Simobjects/Rotorcraft/Robinson_R22 folder and find this entry created by the installer:QUOTE [fltsim.3]title=African Safari Charter - 5Y-ASR sim=Robinson_R22 texture=ASR kb_checklists=Robinson_R22_check kb_reference=Robinson_R22_ref prop_anim_ratio=-1.76 atc_id=5Y-ASR ui_manufacturer=Robinson ui_type=R22 Beta II ui_variation=African Safari Charter ui_typerole=Rotorcraft ui_createdby=Microsoft Corporation description=Performance, price, and low operating cost have made the two-seat Robinson R22 Beta II among the most popular helicopters in the world. Now all you have to do is renaming the title to (for example) "title={C}{C}African Safari Charter - 5Y-ASR - unused{C}{C}" and create a new entry in the JetRanger's sim.cfg:QUOTE [fltsim.13]title=African Safari Charter - 5Y-ASR sim=Bell_206B_JetRanger model= panel= sound=texture= kb_checklists=Bell_206B_JetRanger_check kb_reference=Bell_206B_JetRanger_ref prop_anim_ratio=-1.76 atc_id_color=0xc6eff7ff atc_id=N834JR ui_manufacturer="Bell" ui_type="206B JetRanger" ui_variation="White" ui_typerole="Rotorcraft" ui_createdby="Microsoft Corporation" description="The Bell 206 series has accumulated an astounding array of impressive statistics. More than 6,000 JetRangers are flying worldwide in roles as diverse as corporate transportation, police surveillance, and United States Army aviation training." Make sure the ref number "[fltsim.13]" is unique. Now you have replaced the R22 with the default paint scheme of the JetRanger. You can always replace paint schemes by simply changing the texture path: texture=. Changing other aircraft is just as simple by renaming the "title" names in the aircraft.cfg files.Keep in mind that not every aircraft is suitable for the challenging airstrips! Now have fun - if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Taken from this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
