oscar sanz Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Hello, I cannot create a new profile for the PMDG 737-800 MSFS. When I create it, it loads it and then returns to a default profile, any ideas? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewulf47 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Hi Oscar, What did you enter in the profile as "airfile name"? As I do not have the PMDG models, I cannot say what airfile name is used by PMDG for specific models. To find out, just load the aircraft in MSFS (don't forget to start FSUIPC7 also) and check the server window for a line named: "airfile name xxxxx". There you will see the airfile name returned by FSUIPC7/MSFS for the A/C model loaded. Enter this name into the airfile name in the respective profile. After this edit you have to restart the Client inorder for the changes to become active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcrawley57 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I am having the same issue. Although there is an 800 profile available, it defaults back to 737 700. I have tried with no flightplan loaded too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscar sanz Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 the problem is that pmdg did not change the name to 738 in its aircraft cfg and it appears as 737, if you edit the name in community 738 aircraf cfg general line edit to 738 the problem will be corrected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CYB4 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Open the "Aircraft.cfg" at Community\pmdg-aircraft-738\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 737-800 Go to section [General] and change it to B738 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry.vlachos Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Hi, I have tryied all the above but nothing, by the way, my "aircraft.cfg" has no "General" section, any other idea to solve the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
