buying the same plane?

[DanSteph]

it's all about the "title=" of aircraft.cfg

FsP recognise this only. Also FsP consider that two different painted aircraft ARE different plane
this is logical as company doesn't repaint their aircraft beetween each flight.... at least NOT
for free as you would be allowed if FsP did not make the difference....

Anyway there is several workaround to "cheat" FsP and do whatewer you want.


Case 1: a fleet of 737-400 with the same livery (for example)

Edit the aircraft.cfg you want to buy multiple time Savas was not far from the solution but really too complicated.

simply copy the whole "fltsim.xx" section and add it with only a title modification:

[fltsim.00]
title=Learjet 35 BLUE LIVERY
sim=lear35
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=N597VR
kb_checklists=Lear35_check
kb_reference=Lear35_ref
atc_id=N597VR
ui_manufacturer=Bombardier
ui_type=Learjet 35
ui_variation=N597VR

[fltsim.01] <--- edit this number
title=Learjet Number two BLUE LIVERY <---- edit simply this name
sim=lear35
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=N597VR
kb_checklists=Lear35_check
kb_reference=Lear35_ref
atc_id=N597VR
ui_manufacturer=Bombardier
ui_type=Learjet 35
ui_variation=N597VR


Save and voila you have two different aircraft with the same livery.
You will be allowed to buy a "Learjet Number two BLUE LIVERY" and a "Learjet 35 BLUE LIVERY"
wich will be exactly the same aircraft type and livery but listed as different aircraft in FsP.


Case 2: Flying all Livery of one aircraft for the price of one only

First FsP have a character limit of 45 characters, simply show variation in the name after the 45 nd character
and FsP will think it's the same aircraft....

Example:

[fltsim.00]
title=Whow this gonna be a very long name of aicraft of 45 character so I can fly them all NUMBER 1

fltsim.01]
title=Whow this gonna be a very long name of aicraft of 45 character so I can fly them all NUMBER 2

In FsP you will buy one "Whow this gonna be a very long name of aicraft of 45 character so I can fly"
and you will be allowed to fly all the variations....

Hope it help ?
