How to create own category in plane selection menu?

Hello all,

I have learned that the category in the plane selection menu depends on the entry in the file aircraft.cfg, for example:
ui_typerole=“Single Engine Prop”
ui_typerole=“Single Engine TurboProp”
ui_typerole=“Twin Engine Prop”
ui_typerole=“Twin Engine TurboProp”
ui_typerole = “Commercial Airliner”
ui_typerole = “Rotocraft”

Are there additional keywords for “ui_typerole” ?
Is there any possibility to create an own category in the plane selection menu?

I would like to create a category “Ultralight” in the plane selection menu and add some planes by
typing for example ui_typerole=“Ultralight”

Are there any other ways to “group” some special aircraft?

This looks like a question for the MSFS DevSupport forum.

Yes, you can put whatever you like in there. It will show up

Yes, it will show up in the category “OTHERS”…
You didn’t understand me. Okay … once again:
ui_typerole=“Single Engine Prop” will show up in the category “PROP plane”
ui_typerole=“Single Engine jet” will show up in the category “JET plane” etc.
I want to create my own category e.g. “Ultralight”

Is that possible?
(Does anyone understand what I am writing?)
