I have been trying to download some aircraft to FSX and when i try to save the aircraft .cfg file vista will not let me save it. A message that the file path is wrong. When i had XP i had no problem downloading files and changing the cfg file. Can someone tell me if you have to do something different in vista? I am running as administrator. Thanks

It is part of Windows file protection. Just cut and paste your CFG file to your desktop, edit it all you want and save it, then cut and paste it back to the aircraft's folder.

Thanks Michael that worked like a dream. I can always count on my fellow DVA pilots to help out.

Yeah.., It took me a while to figure that one out with windows 7.. I just copy the cfg. file to my documents and edit it then paste it back to the A/C folder..
