Incorrect Aircraft.CFG location

[Luke Kolin]

Sorry to bump this thread, but do you know if this is functional in FS2024? I don't have the sim but am getting reports that would suggest it might not be.

Cheers

Hi Luke,

Could you be more specific -seems like there were several issues in this thread.

Also, be aware that MSFS2024 is a different beast and I think that for many aircraft it is not possible to read the aircraft.cfg file. But I will check further tomorrow.

It is not possible to read the location of the aircraft.cfg file in MSFS2020/2024 if the file is encrypted, which is usually the case for paid add-ons. In MSFS2024, aircraft are 'streamed' - I haven't checked if the aircraft.cfg is readable for such aircraft. I will take a look on Monday, or possibly later today if I have time.

Later: Looks like it doesn't work either for streamed aircraft (i.e. all aircraft in MSFS2024) - see https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com/t/simconnect-requestsystemstate-aircraftloaded-returns-partial-path-of-aircraft-cfg/9041/7

I will still check this though and report back.
