.air file editing

Is there a list somewhere of what all the values mean in the .air file? Also, is there a way to edit the non-numerical, graph type entries in an .air file? I have a couple old planes that were FS9 upgrades from long ago that work in FSX but need a little tweaking.
 
The P3D SDK is probably the best bet, but for a lot of it you'll need to cross reference with a decent aerodynamics text. Mechanics of Flight by A.C. Kermode isn't bad.
 
AirEd will let you edit all entries, including the graphs. Search for godaired.zip at FlightSimn. I too wish there was a list of all the possible values and what they mean.

Click to expand...

Also checkout Aircraft Airfile Manager (AAM).

Should list most of the known airfile entries, and edit the graph types too.

I use both AirED & AAM as the values are not consistent between the two (one is in bits of I think 144 squared? whilst the other is in coefficient values). AirEd graphs are non existent for some items & are just lists, whilst AAM draws them as graphs (Propellor & engine power for example).
There are at least two versions for AAM, 2.2 being the latest that updates the definitions of each item, although I prefer the 1.52 version.....
