O.K folks just got a new set up, and like many tried to add skins to FS9, but i have MS windows 2008 home edition and all the Aircraft config files are Microsoft office outlook config files, so i had to change them into word to add the new skin files configs. My problems then started when i tried to return them to thier original format because the program wont read a word config file. I hope this makes some kind of sense, as this is driving me up the wall.....Gary
You should be able to right-click on the file and select open with... then select your chosen text editor.
As for saving select plain text and remember to add the correct file extension either .ini or .cfg
Might be better to use notepad?
You don't have an option to "open with" when it comes to MS outlooks files.... I have no idea why... you just don't.
Hi Guys thanks for the advice ill give it a bash , This is the first time ive had to renew my system in 7 years and on the old unit config files came in Word and were dead easy to alter, but this has really thrown me. Once ive got this sorted i will be seeking your help on graphics ( god who said flight simming was easy??) anyway ill try your advice and let you know how things go ..Thank Gary.
Yea!!!! it worked, having got the outlook config file i went to the file tool bar and hit edit, the file then appears in word form which you can adjust, then save back in outlook and there you have it everything is back in the sim....greatful thanks to my helpers...Gary
