Change of folder name for my Vatsim+VA flight

[Ku_ba65]

Hello,

recently I discovered that there is a repaint of a B737-700 of my favourite airline available and fitted on IXEG so I would like to fly it for my VA as a "737-700". However when i want to change the folder name to a "737-700" its not allowing me to change it, but i need it for the smartcars software to accept my flight. Is there a possibility to change something that smartcars would track me as 73G? Thank you very much.

You could try to change the plane's ICAO code in the .acf file, could be that Smartcars is looking for that rather than the folder name.

1.) make a copy of the IXEG's .acf file and rename it e.g. by changing the file extension to .bak
2.) open the .acf file in a text editor and search for the line that begins with P acf/_ICAO
3.) change the ICAO code to B737
4.) save the file

Yeah thank you very much for your reply, long time after my request i tried to do it as you suggested to me however its not working. Smartcars really does read the folder name No succes only still getting warning messages as before.
