1. Go to the Windows "Search" tool and search the FSX directory for the file Aircraft.CFG and select the instance under the aircraft you want the effect added to.

2. Open the file on Notepad and then navigate to the category titled [fltsim.0] (there are usually more then one of these categories--one for each livery/paint job for the aircraft and the number increases by 1).

3. Add the line visual_damage=1 below each category instance.

4. Save the file as Aircraft.NEW in ANSI format under the same aircraft directoy (use "Save As..." and NOT "Save"!).

5. Rename the original Aircraft.CFG to Aircraft.OLD, then rename Aircraft.NEW to Aircraft.CFG and rerun FSX.

From now on, when you fly the aircraft who's file you've edited, you will see crash effects (but only if the aircraft creator included them as part of the package). I have included a link below that details the format, layout and parameters for the Aircraft.CFG file.

Most times yep, though it does crash sometimes.


Flight simulators are used to train new pilots because?

It is much cheaper (and safer) to let a fledgling pilot crash in a simulator than to crash a real plane while learning the nuances of flight.

What is the differences between a flight simulator and a real airplane?

A simulator gives you the feel of the actual aircraft, but it won't be the real thing. For example, a simulator will contain all controls which an actual aircraft does, but it will have a display running some video and you have to move controls accordingly. If you crash in simulator you get one more chance to make a new start. Real aircraft is a real thing. You crash, you are dead (Maybe along with some more guys and burning up millions of dollars).


How do you get people on your aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator X?
