If you are on PC (or on Mac but have access to PC) then yes - you can use GIANTS Editor (see https://gdn.giants-software.com/) to make private edits. It might look daunting at first, but if you keep a backup (or a series of backups) you can't go far wrong.

Many thanks I have a PC and have migrated from 40-plus years on flight sim in development 3d modeling and flying and just starting to develop for FS. I was casually playing with 17 on encouragement from a flight sim user when I was on 3rd party support and started casually with 22 about 2 years ago. Now I don't flight sim anymore as the new sim is just plain boring and in general the genre has nose-dived. My Blender is loaded with Giants i3d tools and already started several projects.

Then you are good to go.
