RC-135 Config File Where?

[nightfighter]

Well last week i grabed the bull by the balls and changed to FXS and god dont i wish i hadn't. In fs9 life was wonderful, many of my favorite HJG beasts roamed add-on military airfields in harmony, Now it's a nightmere!!! The KC-135 went in a dream as in installing it the same way as in FS9. then i came to my beloved collection of RC-135s and? no-way!! I looked into the Base pack and found all about changing the cfg.file only problem is there is only one cfg.file there isn't a "Aircraft_fsx.cfg" to change. so i thought id try your install method of adjusting the FSX cfg file in the game , only i couldn't find it, i tried the advised method
C/Docs and settings/login-id/apps data/micro/FX and got as far as docs and settings and could not get any further, i even tried a computer search for said FSX config file all to no-avail. Sorry if this sounds like a winge only after 4 days of trying, i feel like giving FSX to my mate as a target for his shooting practice. By the way HJG it's not just your aircraft, Remember those wonderful add-on airfields i said about? yep they dont work either.

Even though I don't use FSX myself, I have FS9 installed, I downloaded the file you mentioned, and when I had unzipped it, the aircraft cfg for fsx was in there, with the following information, perhaps I can suggest you re download said file, if not this is what is in there,

I have not placed Rivet Amber config in, it was already in the cfg for fsx, but not in the fs9 aircraft.cfg

description=Boeing RC-135E Rivet Amber 62-4137. Rivet Amber was one of a kind. She housed a Hughes seven megawatt phased-array radar that was capable of tracking an object the size of a soccer ball from a range of 300 nautical miles In 1960. The electrical load that was created required a seperate engine driven generator mounted under the left wing, and a heat exchanger in a similar pod under the right wing. Tragically she was lost over the Bering Sea while enroute to Eielson AFB Alaska with a crew of 19. Nothing of her or her crew has ever been found. More on this unique aircraft can be found at www.rivetamber.com

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

then i came to my beloved collection of RC-135s and? no-way!! I looked into the Base pack and found all about changing the cfg.file only problem is there is only one cfg.file there isn't a "Aircraft_fsx.cfg" to change

Our RC135 are CFM-56 turbofan powered aircraft .... i.e. they're virtually smokeless .... meaning they (like the B707-700, and DC8-70 SERIES aircraft too) don't require an FSX specific AIRCRAFT.CFG file.

Use the file CFG file provided within that particular basepack .... applying to it whatever other edits are recommended.

PLEASE NOTE .... only our P&W turbojet and fanjet C135/B707 TYPE aircraft have FSX specific AIRCRAFT.CFG files.

Hi guys and thanks for the advice, ive solved my problem ive gone back to FS9, for as much as the eye candy in FSX is awesome i think the game still needs time to develope, really it is you guys and other add -ware developers i feel sorry for, as i said in my starting post thanks to you folks i have some truly wonderful aircraft to fly and great airfields to land on, were as in FXS i had to have a degree in computing to install aircraft and other add-on's. It is of course the dreaded Microsoft's fault, when they developed FSX why oh why didn't they consider that FS9 users would want to transfer their aircraft and stuff over to FSX.
Anyway enough off my ranting, im a happy bunny again and i will try FSX again someday in the future. Thank again for your help and your stunning aircraft and remember, without folks like you we'd have a very empty sim, thanks ..Gary

[Dan K. Hansen]

Mark, please be aware, that it is not only the smoke files that makes the difference between FSX and FS9 .... exit coordinates are also part of the FSX and different from FS9 ....

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

YES .... I am very much aware of that, but sometimes, the lack of time and other interruptions here latelt (in Colombia) haven't allowed me to reply as thoroughly/completely as I'm normally accustomed to replying !

There's also this other minor edit too .... which is advised on my B707 PANEL INSTALLATION & HANDLING NOTES forum page ....

SUGGESTED B707/720 EDITS/FIXES

FSX B707/720/C135 .... AIRCRAFT.CFG UPDATE

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING EDIT IS FOR HJG B707/720/C135 AIRCRAFT.CFG FILES AND "FSX" ONLY.

[/b]

Please open your "FSX" B707/720/C135 AIRCRAFT.CFG files and add the following data if it is not already there ....

[GPWS]
max_warning_height = -1 //disable integral FSX GPWS

This is to disable the "FSX" integral GPWS.

ONCE AGAIN .... THIS EDIT IS FOR "FSX" B707/720/C135 AIRCRAFT.CFG FILES ONLY.

DO NOT APPLY THIS EDIT TO THE DEFAULT FS2004 AIRCRAFT.CFG FILES FOR THESE AIRCRAFT.[/quote]
