TA152 "Aircraft.cfg" files trouble

Hi, everybody.

I tried to modify both Ta152 "aircraft.cfg" files but after save and close them, both aircrafts didn't appear in the free flight thumbnails anymore.
(Simply editing the files without any change and saving them gave the same result !)
After a lot of test, I discovered a file corruption due to non standard font caracters (and code) in these files (FW190D "aircraft.cfg" files are O.K.).
If you reach this trouble, fix is easy :

1. Replace any unknown font letter (♦ with "?" inside) by the right one(s);
2. Copy file content in notepad and save this new "aircraft.cfg" with ANSI standard.

In my case, it was successful.

Did Classics Hangar forget "cameradefinition.899" at the end of some "aircraft.cfg" or is it for special use ?

Kind regards,
Fulbert

Thanks for the report, Fulbert.
don't know at what point the reformatting occured but we will fix it for the upcoming patch.

What's the deal with "cameradefinition.899"?

There is no trouble with "Cameradefinition.899".
For all aircrafts I use, I only keep basic views (Cockpit, external and tower).
With some FW190D/TA152H, it was impossible to remove "Opus FSX aircraft view"... Until I found "Cameradefinition.899" at the end of "aircraft.cfg".
I imagine there is no special reason to keep it.
