Wilco E-Jets Airline Pack Issue

When I installed the Wilco E-Jets Airline Pack containing the extra liveries from McPhat Studios, I encountered a minor issue when starting up Flight Simulator. I got a message about "more than one object exists" for the Northwest Airlines E-170 livery. It turns out that this is a minor issue in McPhat's additions to the aircraft.cfg file, which is easily fixed. If you get this message, simply pull up Airplanes/feelThere PIC E170/aircraft.cfg (FS9) or SimObjects/Aircraft/feelThere PIC E170/aircraft.cfg (FSX) in notepad, and scroll down to the section starting with [fltsim.43]. Change the line that says:

title=Embraer 170 Northwest

To:

title=Embraer 170 Northwest mcp

Then save and exit. Restart Flight Simulator, and it should be happy now.

Hopefully Wilco and McPhat will fix this issue soon.
