Adventurous, curious, want everything in one place? If you have not heard of this utility program you may want to try it. The FSX version is like a Swiss Army Knife for the sim. You can modify the FSX.cfg with 22 different categories. Aircraft.cfg has 24 categories. 14 categories for the Panel.cfg. Flight files with 5 categories. 6 for AI traffic. There are 13 in the Others section. Last but not least it even has a section to let you create your own functions. Oh yeah it also has a CFG Editor and an XML-Editor included. What is it you ask?
Flusifix-2006 v5.0 is the program and all the tweaks and twits and fixes you see scattered around the web are able to be done in one program. The good part is it is FREE. Where is it you say? Just use the link below and when the page comes up it will be in German, if you don't Spechen ze .... just look on the right side of the page and click on the Union Jack for English. There is also a version for FS9 but last time I looked it was in German only, although I had a translation for it.
Enough yammering you say, where can I get it?
