I've finally found time to revisit this problem. 

The FGFS is working fine with updates up to 15th Oct. Paths, etc. are good.

I've updated and recompiled Simgear and Flightgear. Nothing else has been
changed. Should work, right?

Wrong: I get the following errors using the default aircraft:

Object PanelInstruments not found
Object ControlsGroup not found
No instrumentation model specified for this model! 

I also get this:

General Initialization
======= ==============
FG_ROOT = "/FlightGear-cvs/data"

Which is correct.

The menu bar has also disappeared, so it would seem likely that the correct
path is not being found.

However, it was before I updated. Checking, I find that "/sim/systems/path"
contains 'Aircraft/Generic/generic-systems.xml' (unspecified). Correct, but
should this be a string type?

A quick cout check in systems_mgr.cxx shows that path_n = 0, so there's the
problem. Possibly a problem in simgear/misc/sg_path.hxx? Unlikely, that
hasn't been changed in months.

So, it's not a "duh" yet :-). Any advice on what to check next? Can any
other Cygwin user confirm my findings, or tell me what they have done
differently? 

Regards,

Vivian
