The obvious, to me at least, way ahead will be for each aircraft to have it's own custom panels and sound effects, and to this end I just bundled everything that was used by the a/c into the directory until I could improve it. The down-side is that while the a/c is still being developed, as it obviously still is, there will be a degree of duplicated data.
I don't want to step on anyones toes here, and I do want to express that in general I really like your aircraft, but I also agree with Melchior here.
I've been trying to get the download size of the base package decreased wherever possible (removing alpha layers from textures that don't use them for example, although this also saves texture memory on the video card). And the way your aircraft are bundled right now isn't very effective with regards to base package size.
I have been using ISDN to download the base package for a long time and every Mb download size takes another 2 minutes of *payed* telephone costs (even 3 minutes for analog modem users). We can't seriously expect every one on the world to do that because you feel like it.
I'm not going to say this has to be changed for the upcoming release, but try to keep that in mind for the next updates.
