Now I understand what you're asking. First, I think you can over-ride the preferences.xml on the command line, write and refer to your own custom one, and inside that selectively refer to the subfiles of the original. Second, a read-only site-wide preferences.xml should be very minimalist so that it isn't too difficult to use the .fgfsrc and command line settings. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
