Hello Rich,
I have modified in deep the aircraft.cfg of the Alphasim S-55. Below I have add the content of the aircraft.cfg I use with fsx/acceleration. As you will see I use only one [fltsim.0] section. So edit the file to add the flitsim syou want to use. Do not forget to save your copy of the aircraft.cfg file under another name.
Have a good day
Benoit

description=© AlphaSim 2009\n\nThe S-55 started life as the venerable military version and first flew in 1949. The S-55 served with the USN as the H04S, the Air Force as the H-19 and the Marines as the HRS. Commercial certification was awarded in 1952 for the S-55. Initial engines were P&W Wasp Radials, later variants had the P&W R-1300 and later still the P&W R-1340.\n\n UK versions were built under license and 400 examples were produced as the WS-55 Whirlwind, these later featured the Rolls Royce Bristol Gnome engine turbine, a replacement for the original Alvis radial engine. France and Japan also had a license for S-55 construction. Total production globally stands at 1281 airframes, the majority of which are for the US services.
