Re: .dat files
WPNSHAPE FLR FLYING filepath/to/file/here/flare.srf
Find the filepath of the flare SRF you want, and change the filepath accordingly.

Re: .dat files
.dat files for stock aircraft are found in the aircraft folder, but for addon aircraft they can be found in a number of places. Most addons are created to have their files in the user folder, with subfolders for pack or author, but that's not a guarantee. Some install directly into the aircraft folder, others have the pack folder in the main YS folder.
The filepath for the WPNSHAPE line directs YSFlight to the file you want to load, starting from the YS executable you are running. If you put the flare.srf into the misc folder, the filepath would be "misc/flare.srf". If it's in a user folder, the filepath would be "user/Username/weapons/flare.srf" or similar.
And try to edit your posts rather than create new ones if no one has responded.

Re: .dat files
