Looks like this is a chicken-egg problem:
The chicken:
The model class in multiplayer.nas listens on the
property /ai/models/model-added and checks for all models the
property "valid" to be true.
The egg:
When AIManager attaches a model, it first loads the model by calling
model->init();
FGAIBase::init() calls FGAIBase::load3DModel() which calls
FGAIBase::initModel() which sets property /ai/models/model-added. (This
triggers the chicken, but "valid" is not yet set to true)
_AFTER_ model->init() in AIManager::atach() is finished, the property "valid"
in the /ai/models/multiplayer[n] is set to true.
This causes new latest addition to the multiplayer list to be ignored.
I think the behaviour of FGAIBase and AIManager is correct to set the "valid"
property to true after the initialization is complete.
I also think that the check for "valid" in the model class in multiplayer.nas
is required to stay there.
I have just commited a patch for multiplayer.nas that ignores the "valid" flag
for the latest pilot that has joined.
Please check if this solves the problem.
