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 On Wednesday 24 March 2004 09:47, Erik Hofman wrote: > Durk Talsma wrote: > > Okay I tried testing a few more aircraft, and it appears that > > --show-aircraft lists a lot more aircraft than are in the current base > > package.
