Hello all,
What parameters are important for the A2A aircraft to function properly? Those of my concern are the following:
title=C172R default
ui_manufacturer=A2A Cessna
ui_type="C172R Skyhawk"
ui_variation="N7274H"
ui_typerole="Single Engine Prop"
ui_createdby="A2A Simulations Inc."
The point is that I'd like to give some better order to my aircraft collection, so that all Cessnas, for example, reside under "Cessna", and now some of them are under "A2A Cessna". Is it going to break anything, if I rename? Or hurt someone's feelings? I remember when I tried to do the same with the A2A Cub back in FSX, it ended up unservicable, indicating that something in the advanced A2A things depended on the proper name.

Ilya,
You shouldn't see any bad side-effects from editing these fields as you mention. In fact, this is something I tend to do for consistency of how add-ons are displayed, particularly in P3D where the "title" field is the main one that's shown to us by the UI. Like you, my personal preference is to keep the aircraft manufacturer and add-on developer separate, so in my case the entries read as follows...
title=Cessna 172R Skyhawk N7274H
ui_manufacturer=Cessna
ui_type="C172R Skyhawk"
ui_variation="N7274H"
ui_typerole="Single Engine Prop"
ui_createdby="A2A Simulations"
Note that the "title" field must be unique. It's also a good idea to back up the aircraft.cfg before making these kind of edits, just in case!
Cheers,
Nick

Yes as Nick mentions you can change certain parameters that deal directly with the GUI so you can better order and organise how things are or indeed are not displayed.
thanks,
