Oh, I'm well aware of that (former development professional, not just 3d games. 10 years of it), and it's not a big issue indeed, but nevertheless a cosmetic issue that shouldn't be neglected when possible. So let's forget I even mentioned it happens to cvs users : it happens to stable releases

Hi all, there was a fly-in today in New Zealand, and even though a lot of us flew the same plane from the same author, we could only see each other as gliders. Why ? Because in the past couple months, some aircraft used today have undergone model file name changes as well as set file name changes,

Yes , I'm one of the culprits , and it's not a lack of foresight ,I've done it for a reason. MP is not my biggest concern , I did these aircraft for my own purposes , not entirely with gamers in mind ... but Im glad some like them all the same. These aircraft use one fuselage model now , with gear

I'll fix the dhc-6 , but have to go back through cvs file to remember what the original names were . Im not crazy about people putting different verions of my aircraft on the forum as it kind of makes my work pointless , but it's bound to happen. I think I prefer to do it in the aircraft model

Sorry, I was going to send you the changes right after posting, should have done it the other way around. But your commits made it all moot, so I removed the archive attachment in my forum post. Thanks for doing something about it with that much speed, Cheers, Nic On Sun, Jul 5, 2009 at 5:37 PM,
