Yes you can change those options in the pf2000.cfg file but be warned, we have not tested such scenarios

thanks for the reply . so am i right in thinking that in the proflight 2000 application if you click on setting ,there is a section called final approach settings and if you change them it will change the vectoring . if this is not the case is there a cfg file to edit and where?

Yes there's a cfg file in your pf2000 folder. I actually wrote a utility back in 2000 to assist in making such changes, which is probably still available at Avsim. Just search for my name.
