TweakAircraft gives you easy access to up to 500+ aircraft.cfg variables:
Each Aircraft.Cfg file contains a wealth of information and TweakAircraft presents this vast array of data in an easy to understand format in keeping with all our TweakFS series. The logic is very similar to our other products so if you have any other TweakFS tool you will feel right at home with TweakAircaft.
With TweakAircraft you can also add features that you like from one aircraft to another such as special effects (FX files).
Many of an aircraft's flight characteristics are locked into the AIR (Flight Dynamics) file and cannot be altered without modifying that binary file, however the Aircaft.Cfg file still contains a huge number of variables that are very easily adjusted with TweakAircraft.
Example: Do you have an aircraft that is a bit too "pitchy"?
You know, one moment your windscreen is full of houses, the next you are nose-high in a stall? With TweakAircraft simply go to the section called "Flight Tuning", double-click on "Elevator Effectiveness" and set it to 0.9 or 0.8 then hop back into FSX and check out the difference.
Make Changes with Complete Impunity:
One thing that puts many off from Tweaking is the fear they will "break" something. As with all TweakFS utilities we have added a Restore button so if anything goes haywire reverting back the original Aircraft.Cfg file is a one-click operation. In fact TweakAircraft leaves the original files themselves intact and makes a duplicate to work with. We always take the cautious approach and give you the ability to easily bail out should FSX spit the dummy at any change you have made.
Each Variable has a Balloon Pop-up Hint with the SDK Range, Example and Description Information:
Most serious aircraft developers consult the FSX SDK (Software Development Kit) almost daily. We have made looking it up unnecessary in most cases we have included every SDK example and description for each value as a tool-tip on the "Edit Value" window. Hovering your mouse over the input box will give you a popup with the applicable information.
