Configuring aircraft

[crashcontinental]

Hi again,

First of all... thanks for the recent update. Solved the date problem perfectly. As I go along I'm becoming more and more addicted to the program....

My next task: Properly configuring my aircraft.

Here's what I want to accomplish:

Using the PSS 777-200LR for my flights, I have the aircraft.cfg set up with multiple variants that include Domestic, International and Ultra Longhaul seating configurations; the only real difference being the Domestic seats 308 pax, the International 278 pax, and the Ultra Longhaul 264 pax.

From my aircraft.cfg

I've got three different aircraft file configs in the FScaptain/Aircraft folder, but none of them show up in the Administrator, under the Flight Dispatch tab, Aircraft type drop down menu. I like to select my Flights from here, get the Release for my ZFW, and then Commit to the flight (which solves any UTC starting time issues I have).

Have read the manual, but have not been able to make it work as of yet. Any ideas? (Sorry again for length of post)
