I’m loving every bit of it, but have encountered 2 minor issues:

Firstly I accidently downloaded two aircraft with the same file name. However, after I removed one from the aircraft folder, I still get the same message whenever I start-up/change aircraft: "there are multiple objects with the same file name. They must have unique titles".

Secondly, I signed up to GameSpy, yet whenever I login it says: "you have been disconnected from GameSpy. You may have logged in on another computer", about 10 seconds later.:isadizzy:

Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank you! :jump:

For question number 1: somewhere in an aircraft.cfg file there is a title that is the same as an aircraft.cfg from another plane. Not sure there is an easy way to find it.

Anyone have any suggestions on finding dup title lines?

Yes, there is an easy way to find duplicate titles - a little program ACA light 2007. It was originally made for FS2004 but works with FSX too. The program helps also with other aircraft.cfg problems. Straight dl link below:

ah! thanks, managed to sort out the .cfg files and i think that the error message was preventing from flying multiplayer, as that now works too!! :jump:
