You have the final one. I use the 1.51 cause I think its simpler than the new one.

Looks like no where, except for a couple of them bug infested pirate sites. Send me a pm witcher email and I'll send it if ya like.

Yup, as already mentioned it's not so much the version of AirEd that you want, but the more recent .INI files have lots more of the sections defined than in older versions. The mudpond.org INI files are what mine is based off of (I've added a few of my own comments to some sections just for my own reference).
That said, I'm using v1.52. Don't remember where I got it anymore...it's been on my harddrives for years.

Truthfully nothing much between the actual program versions themselves. The real difference is in the formatting of the ini files. The 1.52 ini is just much more complex. Get the ini files of each version and do a side by side comparison. Its almost like looking at two fraternal twins -- similar but very dissimilar too.
When i first discovered 1.52's oddities, just for kicks i would dress an air file down completely with version 1.52 using the ini of 1.51 (you can do that, you know), then put the 1.52 ini back in and load the air file again in Aired to see how the 1.52 ini interpreted the results. Its kinda like the same as finishing an air file manually with Aired then loading it in Airwrench to get the interpretation.
I think I could benefit from your ini file as well. Could you simply cut and paste the text from your file in a new post?

Among other things, the upside is it teachs flight dynamics as you increase your understanding of how to use it, giving you a deeper feel for what the sim and its air files are up to in real time play. In many respects it "explains" Aired's programming for me. Its a great learning tool for anyone interested in digging into the dark art of simulator flight dynamics. The downside is that because its clearly designed foremost for MSFS series, you get a lot of superfluous entries in your finished air files that are either useless in CFS2 or the CFS2 engine just doesn't cope with very well. One example is the after-effect on autopilot - the finished results can lead to "Porpoising" in autopilot mode where your bird goes up and down as it struggles to maintain a steady altitude at cruise speeds. AI wingies will exhibit the same effect in level cruise flight.
But for the upside benefits its worth the price. With a little time under the hood you can learn how to fine tune your Airwrench products by hand editing the air files after the fact to offset any unpleasant side effects and boost CFS2 performance.
