• 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.

Greetings,iv`e recently edited some aircraft .xdp files to change cockpit size but it appears some not all fail and become corrupted i`m using ''wordpad'' as adobe reader won`t work,is there any other option to download?
I`m running Win 7 home premium 64 bit.
Thanks in advance.

You would be better using Notepad, or a text file editor like XMLWrench. There are others, no doubt the members will suggest their favourites. Wordpad is a cut-down word processor and will insert non-printing characters unless you’re very careful to save as plain text. That’s why you get fails, when the sim reads the non-printing characters.

Yes like Tom says, I find XML Wrench is good. If there is an error in your aircraft xdp, XMLWrench will tell you the exact line and position of the fault.
 
Thanks fellas!

Thank you fellas,all`s good i edited using notepad and it works,i`ll download the Wrench also.
