Okay, yeah sorry for the noise. I just found out why i got this problem. It 
looks like what I did was run my regular fgfs sessions specifying 
--fg-root= /home/durk/src/FlightGear-0.9.4pre1/data (where I installed the 
prerelease base package), but I had picked-up a fgfs --show-aircraft from the 
shell history, where I hadn't specified this option. Because I had made sure 
that I had temporarily removed .fgfsrc file, I assumed that it would fail to 
find any base packages at all if I didn't specify the fg-root path, because I 
have installed the regular (CVS) base package in a non-default location. This 
is where the problem started, because fgfs didn't stop with an error. As a 
consequence of all my recent system crashes, I have done several updates of 
SuSe linux, and in one of them I have appearently installed the SuSe 
FlightGear rpm, which fgfs picked-up and read the aircraft -set files from, 
instead. Because I didn't get an error, I was assuming it was picking-up the 
right base package, which it in fact didn't. Obviously, this happened right 
before bedtime, when I wasn't quite sharp enough anymore to catch my error.

This morning I tested it properly and then I got the correct list of aircraft

Confusingly yours,
Durk
