I was wondering if it is possible to change the AI's aircraft name as it appears on my screen. For example, when an AI aircraft shows up, it has model, range, alt, and manufacturer (Fruitstand, Aardvark) I've gone into the aircraft config file and tried to change it to what the airline is, but when I try to save or just exit out, it won't allow me to make any changes. Is there a way around it or am I just cooked? Am using FS9 by the way.
Thanks guys (and gals)

It might be that the information is needed for each AI aircraft, and it is not letting you edit it. Why not turn AI names off? They are an eyesore at airports and when cruising at high altitudes and they do not provide me with any vitally important information.

If you're using Vista, you will need to pull up your Windows Explorer, Right-Click on your aircraft folder, go to the Security tab, then click on the Edit... button. Make sure you give yourself full control of the folder (and everything inside it). I used to have the same problem you described until I did this. Haven't had a problem since then.
