Legacy FLT File Properties
On this page you can find references to the sections and parameters that are either considered as legacy or deprecated. Sections and parameters flagged as legacy can still be included in your aircraft as long as the aircraft is setup with the corresponding legacy system, however attempts should be made to update to use the newer systems as support for legacy items may be discontinued in the future. Items flagged as deprecated should not be used at all.
[Hydraulic Parameters.N.i]
This section is only required for aircraft using the legacy [HYDRAULIC_SYSTEM].
Defines one or more hydraulic system. Systems are defined from N upwards - starting from 0 - where each one first corresponds to an engine pump, then the subsequent ones correspond to an electric pump. For example if the aircraft has 2 engines and two electric pumps you would have the following sections:
[Hydraulic Parameters.0.0]
[Hydraulic Parameters.1.0]
[Hydraulic Parameters.2.0]
[Hydraulic Parameters.3.0]The second section value (i) corresponds to the aircraft number (0 for the user aircraft).
The available parameters are:
| Parameter | Description | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
HydraulicPressure | Sets the Hydraulic pressure (in psf) of the hydraulic system N. When multiple systems are defined, engine pumps should be first then electrical pumps. | Float | No |
[Fuel.N]
This section is only required for aircraft using legacy [FUEL]. There will be one fuel entry for each aircraft. The available parameters are:

TankSelector1 | Tank selector for the right engine(s). Same range of options as TankSelector. This entry will be present, but ignored, for a single-engine aircraft. | Integer:1. Off2. All3. Left4. Right5. Left Aux6. Right Aux7. Left Main8. Right Main9. Center10. Crossfeed Left to Right11. Crossfeed Right to Left12. Center 213. Center 314. Drop 115. Drop 216. Right Tip17. Left Tip18. Crossfeed19. Both20. Drop All | Yes |
Center | Percentage of fuel in tank. These parameters are only required if you are using the simplified fuel system as setup using the [FUEL] section for the aircraft. | Float | Yes |
Center 2 | Percentage of fuel in tank. These parameters are only required if you are using the simplified fuel system as setup using the [FUEL] section for the aircraft. | Float | Yes |
Center 3 | Percentage of fuel in tank. These parameters are only required if you are using the simplified fuel system as setup using the [FUEL] section for the aircraft. | Float | Yes |
LeftMain | Percentage of fuel in tank. These parameters are only required if you are using the simplified fuel system as setup using the [FUEL] section for the aircraft. | Float | Yes |
RightMain | Percentage of fuel in tank. These parameters are only required if you are using the simplified fuel system as setup using the [FUEL] section for the aircraft. | Float | Yes |
LeftAux | Percentage of fuel in tank. These parameters are only required if you are using the simplified fuel system as setup using the [FUEL] section for the aircraft. | Float | Yes |
RightAux | Percentage of fuel in tank. These parameters are only required if you are using the simplified fuel system as setup using the [FUEL] section for the aircraft. | Float | Yes |
LeftTip | Percentage of fuel in tank. These parameters are only required if you are using the simplified fuel system as setup using the [FUEL] section for the aircraft. | Float | Yes |
RightTip | Percentage of fuel in tank. These parameters are only required if you are using the simplified fuel system as setup using the [FUEL] section for the aircraft. | Float | Yes |
External 1 | Percentage of fuel in tank. These parameters are only required if you are using the simplified fuel system as setup using the [FUEL] section for the aircraft. | Float | Yes |
External 2 | Percentage of fuel in tank. These parameters are only required if you are using the simplified fuel system as setup using the [FUEL] section for the aircraft. | Float | Yes |
[ResourcePath]
If the saved flight is a mission, this will be the path to the mission resources, such as the audio and briefings files. If it is not a mission it will reference the flights\other\folder. Note that the path is relative to the install location for the application, and that resource paths must be sub-folders within the install location.
The available parameters are:
| Parameter | Description | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
Path | The path to the files | String | Yes |
[Window.N]
This section deals with currently opened windows, where N is the window being referenced. Windows should always be numbered from 1 and there should always be at least 1 Window section. The available parameters are:
| Parameter | Description | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
Order | Set to 0 if the main window is in focus, or the number of the window if another is in focus. | Integer | Yes |
Active | Set to True if this is the active window or False otherwise. | Boolean | Yes |
Undocked | Set to True if the window has been undocked or False otherwise. If set to True, the window will be located at UndocCoords. | Boolean | Yes |
Maximized | Set to True if the window is maximized, or False otherwise. When True, this will override screen co-ordinates. | Boolean | Yes |
ScreenUniCoords | The current screen co-ordinates of the window. See the note on Universal Screen Co-ordinates. The data for this parameter should be in a 4 value comma separated list, eg: ScreenUniCoords=2968, 811, 4304, 3702 | 4 Floats | Yes |
UndocCoords | The co-ordinates of the window if it has been undocked. See the note on Universal Screen Co-ordinates. The data for this parameter should be in a 4 value comma separated list, eg: UndocCoords=0, 0, 0, 0 | 4 Floats | Yes |
CurrentCamera | The GUID of the current camera (this will match one of the GUIDs in a [Camera.N.i] entry). Note that if a view option such as “Top Down View” is selected, then the current camera will be the GUID of one of the camera entries down in the list. | String | Yes |
InstanceN | Optional entries, counted from 1. If the camera is pointing at - or is inside - an AI controlled aircraft, then the type and tail number of that aircraft is stored here. For example: Instance1=C208B Grand Caravan | String | No |
[Panels]
This section has the general panel control options. The available parameters are:
| Parameter | Description | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
Panel.On | True if the main panel is visible, either in 2D cockpit or Virtual Cockpit view mode, or False otherwise. | Boolean | Yes |
HUD.On | If the panel.on setting is False, and this setting is True, then the mini panel is visible. If both panel.on and hud.on are False, then no panel is visible. | Boolean | Yes |
