I would think that the author already would provide an original
"reference" version, i.e. the one that works with MSFS.  If we have to
make slight modications to get the model to work with FGFS then why
not go whole hog and spruce it up a little while we are at
it... assuming we have the author's permission to do so.
Ok, this makes sense. The "OEM" resides w/ the working package for MSFS and people can always get that from, say, http://www.flightsim.com. We will only keep those parts (original or otherwise) that are currently working w/ the latest version of FGFS.

In the future for the new aircraft that I add, I'll just put the models in the ~/Aircraft/*/Models.

Michael
