NZFF

Hi,

I have a freeware Air New Zealand 737 (can't remember who published it). Great aircraft with great textures and great sound. Only thing it is missing is a virtual cockpit. So, I don't like flying it much.

Does anyone know where I can get a skin that is compatible with the FSX default 737-800?

Cheers
Si

Cheers Charl. I should have edited my post... I remembered that I've got these 737 skins - I just didn't have an aircraft .cfg editor to apply them. Have got one now.

All you need is to open it with notepad or word etc

Yeah, I tried that, but when I tried to save it, I got a message saying I couldn't. Tried saving the file to my desktop and a few other things with no joy.

I downloaded the freeware version of Tweak Aircraft FSX this morning. That should make it easier.

What was the message? I add the changes and exit, it then asks if I want to save.

You could always save the file as something else (i.e a text file - '.txt'), and then rename the file extension to '.cfg'. But if you're already set up with your program you might as well use that.

There were a few issues I seemed to have. I could save the file after I edited it in word. Post save was the problem "“ It wouldn't let me change the file extension to .cfg either.

I did change an aircraft .cfg file somehow a few weeks back, but I'm darned if I remember how. I think I fluked it somehow.

Was fsx loaded up? could have something to do with it

Right click the file --> properties and make sure that 'read only' is not ticked. If it is, untick it, save the file, then tick it again.

I don't know if that is the problem, but it has been for me before

Worked out the problem... Was trying to save over the file in it's aircraft folder.

So instead I copy the .cfg to somewhere like the desktop, edit it, save it and then copy it back into the aircraft folder, it works no worries that way.
