• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Renumbering Aircraft Question

Example:
Say I have loaded a flightplan.txt or traffic.bgl which contains 30 flights, but they all use aircraft #1.
I add in other aircraft I want to use, using Add New Aircraft from the menu.
I know I can select a single aircraft line in the left window pane, change the aircraft and save, but what if I want to select multiple aircraft lines?
I can select them but it will not save them.

The help file in section 7.7 says *The Replace function may also be used independently of the Find function, by selecting the field of interest, entering the replacement value and manually selecting the flight plan(s) where the replacement is to occur prior to clicking on the “Replace” button."*, but this does not seem to work on multiple selections (replace button is grayed out).
Am I missing something?

Mike, you've confused me.

When you refer to "the left window pane", are you referring to the Flight Plan List and are you trying to select multiple FLIGHT PLANS?

The "replace" button is disabled when you select multiple flight plans, but the Replace all button should be enabled.

That is correct Don.

Yes, the replace all button is active but that will change all the AC#s to the same value.
I would like to be able to select a group of flightplans (either with shift or control key) and renumber just them.
Is there any way to change the AC#s in groups, other than one at a time?

Mike, it looks like you've found a "hole" in my Find/Replace routine. I'll take a look at it as soon as I have a chance (but it will likely be the weekend).

I needed a break from my other project. Version 1.6.30, just released, should work a little better. Please refer to the user manual for a description of the revised functionality.
