Hell Dave, don't worry whether or not you can fly by procedures. Half, if not more of the USA population (or more world-wide) don't know how to drive vehicles respectively. Just FLY IT! Forget the rules!!:pop4:

i just wish there was a way to hide my hundreds of planes from the sim on start up but be able to grab them for use as needed.

Just go into each aircraft folder you don't want to show at start up and change the name of the "panel" folder to "panel hide" or whatever you like. Then it won't show up in the aircraft selection window, but can be made to show up again whenever you want by changing the name back to "panel."

Or you could use the tool Flusifix (there is a link to the English version on the right of the page). In the "AI-Traffic" Menu of that tool there is an item called "Aircraft selection" that allows you to quickly include or exclude the aircraft of your choice. It does that by renaming the panel.cfg file in each aircraft's subfolder. It's basically an easier and quicker way than delving into the FSX folder yourself and renaming files manually one by one.
 
but all of those suggestions leave the files in FSX,which cause slower start up times? thats the thing i want to avoid...as it is now..i go to start FSX and i have time to use the restroom,get a gatorade,fix a sandwich,play with the cat,make a phone call,,watch tv,read an article in air classics.then it will finally get to the selection screen.and im not exaggerating..it is extremely slow to load.

Create a new folder, or folders, in the FSX SimObjects folder. Name it "Hangar" or some such. Then, in your FSX.CFG file under the "Main" section, add the full path to the new folder. It can actually be located ANYWHERE on your system.

Then either disable or enable the folder(s) by adding or removing "comment" markers // at the beginning of the line. FSX will then skip those entries and not load or display anything in those folders.

Here is one of my many FSX.CFG file's "Main" section:
Code: 
[Main]
User Objects=Airplane, Helicopter
SimObjectPaths.0=SimObjects\Airplanes
//SimObjectPaths.1=SimObjects\Rotorcraft
SimObjectPaths.1=SimObjects\GroundVehicles
SimObjectPaths.2=SimObjects\Boats
//SimObjectPaths.4=SimObjects\Animals
SimObjectPaths.3=SimObjects\Misc
//SimObjectPaths.5=SimObjects\Aircraft
SimObjectPaths.4=M:\FSX AI Aircraft
SimObjectPaths.5=M:\FSX Military AI
//SimObjectPaths.8=I:\FSX Military Aircraft
//SimObjectPaths.9=I:\FSX A6 Aircraft
SimObjectPaths.6=SimObjects\Propliner Aircraft
SimObjectPaths.7=ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAI_AIRCRAFT
SimObjectPaths.8=M:\FSX_AI_Aircraft_CH

This particular CFG file is for when I primarily want to fly "Propliners", which I have in a folder of their own.

I renumbered the entries where there are commented out lines but I don't think that is necessary.

Not sure if this is 'offical' or not, but I saw on the A2A forum that Video #3 will be posted after release. This means release could happen very s**n:mixedsmi:
