Running xp11, some aircraft that dont have fsr files for them, i'm trying to make fsu files.
For instance, the STMA DHC3. It has multiple variants like float etc.
Does this matter, because the folder name is DHC3 in most cases or for a few its dhc3pt6.
Not sure if there is a way to have multiple fsu's to just reference whether a floatplane or not (2019 fsflyingschool).
Secondly.. the stats, like too fast for flaps, and flap positions are often hard to find in general.
Is there any easy way to find this stat, local and online manuals dont have this (often)?
Thanks

Hi:
FSFlyingSchool will look for a folder which has a name which is precisely the same as the filename with the removal of the initial 2 "xp" letters of course.
If the folders on for this aircraft tend to have the same name, then in order for FSFlyingSchool to know that they are different aircraft, with different configurations like floats, then the aircraft would need to be in different folders otherwise flying school will have no way of knowing whether you are flying the float etc version or not.
You could have a folder which is called DHC3 and another folder which is called DHC3Float and another folder... etc etc
Then of course you would create multiple files to match the multiple folders.
Finding information on for example speeds which are too fast for flaps and the flap positions can indeed be difficult as you have mentioned.
It is an interesting puzzle as of course we have to ask ourselves where do the pilots get this information?
We look for information from the aircraft publisher first and if this is unsuccessful then we tend to look for information that would be available to the pilot usually coming from the manufacturer of the aircraft and of course much of this is online nowadays.
But there is no central source for this that we have ever found.
Of course if you cannot find this information then you can still use the aircraft by simply approximating information as best you can. 
Have a great weekend of flights!
