If I install a package, but don't want to install all the planes that came with the package will that have any effect on my FS9? (slow framerates or sutters while FS9 looks for those planes I did not install?)
PS: I am not sure this is the right place to ask this question since it is not a question about a specific MAIW package. Please move this thread if it is in the wrong place.

If you do a manual install, you can then choose with components you want to install. So if all you want is AFCAD(s) and Voicepacks, for example, then you can choose to only install those features. You would just not install the traffic file and aircraft.
So, no... as long as you don't install the traffic file looking for those aircraft(and even then I don't think it will cause frame rate issues) you won't see any adverse results.

Ah... I'm not exactly sure how FS9 will handle that because the traffic file will look for that aircraft title. I don't think it would affect frame rates though as I've misspelled titles in my flight plans before which made the aircraft simply not show up but it didn't seem to stutter while it looked for it.
I would just decompile the traffic file and remove the aircraft you don't want from the aircraft.txt and flightplans.txt, in this case the Gulfstream V. Then recompile and you'll be on your way.

I started doing this...........SMOC wrote:I would just decompile the traffic file and remove the aircraft you don't want from the aircraft.txt and flightplans.txt, in this case the Gulfstream V. Then recompile and you'll be on your way.
But I ended up just doing this. I figured if I ever want to add those planes to my flight sim in the future this would be the easiest thing to do.VulcanDriver wrote:Just remove the G-V from the aircraft folder. Then they won't appear in the IDF flightplans.
