 ### Customizing or using different configuration file
 Currently it is not possible to change the configuration filename with the auto start feature.<br>
 You can edit the default, your changes will not be overwritten when the system is updated.<br>
-In my case I have a `left.yaml` and `right.yaml` file for the left and right screens. I simply created a `default.yaml` symlink to the correct file on each side.
+In my case I have a `preferences.yaml.custom.left` and `preferences.yaml.custom.right` file for the left and right screens. I simply created a `preferences.yaml.custom` symlink to the correct file on each side.
 
 On the left side I did:
 ```
 cd ~/makerplane/pyefis/config
-rm default.yaml
-ln -s left.yaml default.yaml
-```
-
-Now when it auto starts it uses the `left.yaml` config

-### Get data needed for Virtual VFR
-The virtual VFR feature uses FAA data to display runways and glide slop indicators in the atitude indicator.
-
-#### Create directory for the CIFP data
-```
-mkdir ~/makerplane/pyefis/CIFP/
-cd ~/makerplane/pyefis/CIFP/
+rm preferences.yaml.custom
+ln -s preferences.yaml.custom.left preferences.yaml.custom
 ```
 
-#### Download the CIFP Data
-Visit https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/cifp/download/ and copy the link to the latest data.
+Now when it auto starts it uses the `preferences.yaml.custom.left` config
 
-Download the latest data using the link you copied and unzip it
-```
-wget https://aeronav.faa.gov/Upload_313-d/cifp/CIFP_231228.zip
-unzip CIFP_231228.zip
-```
-
-Create the index:
-```
-pyefis.makecifpindex FAACIFP18
-```
+If you are starting new or only have a single display just edit the `preferences.yaml.custom` file to make customizations.
+<br>
+For more information on how to customize the display see [Screen Builder Documentation](https://github.com/makerplane/pyEfis/blob/master/docs/screenbuilder.md)
 
-When updating in the future just delete the CIFP directory and start over at the beginning of this section
 
+### Data needed for Virtual VFR
+The virtual VFR feature uses FAA CIFP data to display runways and glide slop indicators in the atitude indicator.<br>
+When using the snap installation method, outlined above, this data is automatically downloaded and periodically auto updated.
 
 ### Important information:
 NOTE: Upon starting a folder named makerplane will be created in your home folder and default configs copied into that folder.<br>
 It will not overwrite any file that currently exists so your customizations are safe. If you would like to get updated default configs you could delete the old configs and then start pyefis and fixgateway.<br>
