Aircraft Profile not being accepted

[anniesboy68]

The aircraft profile is not being accepted i.e Cessna 172 cfg file  1KB. My FSX prog. is on drive C but FSFO is on another drive. Could that be the problem, please?  Ab68

Are you getting an error message? Are you able to load other aircraft profiles?

Hi, thanks for reply. Yes I am getting the error message "FSFO encountered an error message while attempting to read the aircraft profile. Please check the file and try again" No aircraft file will load when FSX is running or not. I do note however that when the file is clicked, the file name is "model" and not the name of the aircraft as when clicking on the CRJ700 already in the file box when calling up select aircraft,which is accepted.

Sorry, Matthew, I was going about it in the wrong way, all sorted now. "Must read the manual" My apologies again AB68
