Thanks for the kind offer Mike, I had a quick look through the README.YAsim. Quite daunting ! I take it from your previous comments that you think this message is pointing to a format type issue rather than an actual value in the definition. I looked through the "\data\aircraft\" directory;
 
 Directory of C:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Aircraft\pa28-161

I have worked out it's a xml file i need to look at but which one?
 
Out of interest what will open the rgb files?
 
Given that these files define an aircraft, what other files are required for an aircraft definition ? and once I have the necessary files how do I get FG to recognise the new aircraft (I would guess there is a "master" list of aircraft that the new one needs to be added to)? (tell me I'm being lazy and point me to the appropriate README if you like ;->)
 
Regards
Dene
