Or %APPDATA%\flightgear.org\? :-} I don't know how MS Windows user think about that, but I'm quite annoyed by programs that dump any visible file/dir to my homedir, unless I happened to start them from there and they were only writing to '.'. I wouldn't want an fgfs directory there, either, unless I created it myself. That's why I think that %APPDATA% was better. The ufo export isn't meant for humans, but for other applications like Georg's FGTools. There just needs to be a place that can be identified by both applications, and that is user-writable (which FG_ROOT usually isn't). That was the whole idea of FG_HOME. The A10 has code to save aircraft data (not activated yet), and my ac_state.nas[1] script does so for every aircraft! I think that this functionality should eventually be in fgfs, and we need a place to store all the files. $ ls $FG_HOME/state/|wc -l 27 m.
