I do have the Seneca-base.xml file containing the lines you mention at
line 392. Also present is Aircraft/SenecaII/Systems/kcs55.nas containing
the line:
print( "KCS55 pictorial navigation system initialized" );
at line 395.
Will now attempt to delete and re-install the complete SenacaII
directory.
.... time passes
"cvs up SenecaII" does nothing in the Aircraft directory.
nor does "cvs co SenecaII"
"cvs update -dP" refreshes the folder and reinstalls the SenecaII
directory (along with every other aircraft).
Aha! Now I see the "KCS55 pictorial navigation system initialized" and
switching to "slave" frees the giro and all is OK.
All this is very odd since I regularly do a CVS/SVN update on everything
including the data directory, as I did prior to opening this thread. I
am losing faith in CVS... sigh.
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards, Alasdair
