So i'm starting to learn how to make my own flight plans for ai aircraft...my question is how do i get the AC Type? its not in the aircraft.cfg, where do i get it from? do i just make one up?
here is an example of a flight plan for a b-52 ai package:

AC#335 B52HUS 15% 4Hr IFR 00:00:00

the B52HUS is what i'm talking about.

Open the aircraft.cfg within the aircraft's main folder (using MS Notepad). Look for an entry such as below:

[fltsim.0]
title=B52HUS
sim=B52H
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=SAC
ui_variation=USAF
ui_manufacturer=Boeing
ui_type=B-52H
atc_airline=
description=
atc_id=

OK, so I fictition-alized it a bit to try to get something close to what you may be looking at. The main thing to be concerned with is what follows the "title=" entry. Copy & paste the bolded part EXACTLY as it is into your aircraft.txt folder (which you already know about). Aircraft # ("335") denotes which aircraft follows which flightplan - if you open your flightplans.txt document, look for "AC#335," and you will find (and can edit if desired) the flightplans designated for this particular aircraft. You can of course change the aircraft # but then the corresponding aircraft# in flightplans.txt needs to be changed to match it.
