is it possable to rename x-planes aircraft folder names?

I have a desire to have planes stored in other places than

the categories provided,

example : fighters, general avation, heavy metal, ect...

my GA folder is too full and I would like to thin it out between another folder

such as GA fast, or ga slow, or military misc.

if it's possable can someone hint me how to create so x-plane can recognise and accept it?

Sure you can have category folders of your choosing. Just keep 'em enclosed within the default Aircraft folder.

The problem with renaming them though is that the next time you update X-Plane using the installer, all the default Aircraft folders and files will be re-downloaded, and you'll end up with duplicated aircraft.

Right - leave the default ones alone, just add any additional folders you like

I put them in a folder "My Aircraft", within the default Aircraft folder. Silly me for never spelling out the details...

I store my own in "Jacques Aircraft" and within sub-directories within this one.
X-Plane/Aircraft/Jacques Aircraft/American/Fighters for example.

Occasionally I will run an older "Download" or "Modified DL" trough the most recent version of PlaneMaker, after which I move that aircraft folder to the (at that time) current version folder. The vast majority of Downloaded aircraft, get discarded after a while.

My own planes are almost always brought up to the latest version of PlaneMaker.

This much organization is probably overkill for the 3 dozen planes I have at this moment, but in my salad days of XP5, I had about 400 planes and it became a mess, so I came up with this system. At that time if one folder contained too many planes, I further subdivided by author. Also got in the habit of adding a "my notes" file to each modified and most downloaded planes.

There is no such thing as a perfectly good airplane.

'your folder' does not need to be in the 'aircraft' folder. I have 'my 860 planes' folder placed outside the aircraft folder to make it easier to backup and move. And it is kept away from 'upgrades'

Try deleting your 'Prefs' first!

Old habit from earlier sim versions that did require all aircraft to be within the main "aircraft" folder has me leaving mine there, in various subfolders depending on type & source (whether I built it or downloaded it mainly) nowhere near as detailed as Guy's.

Upgrades don't touch anything not part of the default package, so not a problem unless you like to modify default aircraft without renaming them
