• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Roger, how did you get this repaint to work? I tried adding it, but I can't alter anything in the aircraft.cfg file (i.e. I cannot save the .cfg file, because "access is denied"). I'm using FSX on a Win7 (64) under administrator rights. It does seem to be a great aircraft!

Do a Google on "Take Ownership for Win7" and follow the installation directions. Install the free download on your Win 7 (64) system. Then, all that is needed is to RIGHT click on the folder containing the file you wish to modify, left click on the menu option that says "Take Ownership". This will open a small window asking you to confirm. Click Okay and let it do its thing. (It will modify the user access parameters for every file in that folder.) Afterward, you should be able to save to any file in the folder including the aircraft.cfg file using standard Windows editing functions. I use this all the time on my Win7 (64) system and it works well.
 
And a tip for anyone reinstalling FSX someday: Do NOT install in the C:\Program Files or Program Files (x86) folders. Create a Games folder and put it in there. Then you won't have to deal with UAC permissions to change/modify files.
