20 years ago I developed the tool AAM (Aircraft Airfile Manager) for FS9 and FSX. This alloowed for editing .air files. Not many tables made it from the .air file to the .cfg files in MSFS but still I think it would be nice to have a tool to edit especially the engines.cfg and flight_model.cfg files.
So I decided to adapt AAM for MSFS and am now in a state of development that allows me to show a short video of what I have done. It is not finished, it still needs some time until release. The last version for FSX was V3.0, for MSFS I will start with V4.0.
At release AAM will have the possibility to edit the engines.cfg file. It allows for graphically editing of the tables as well as shows color coded information iweather options are present in the SDK or not and if they are required or not.
Future enhencements can be:
flight_model.cfg
engine and prop databases
import tables from FSX .air files
range checks of parameters
possibility to edit other .cfg and .xml files
possibility to edit assets like light positions on a 3D wire model of the aircraft
The single most useful tool - it may be freeware but should be at least donation-ware and will be very welcome to add back into the toolkit. Thank you!
No they didnt. I’m still quite angry at that, but little I can do. Other tables were renamed practically into oblivion with MS wanting to do whatever it had too to make the sim appear completely fresh and new,which we all know, it isnt…
