I see. Well if it is consistent with how aircraft loading normally works then it makes sense to keep it I guess. I've never came across an aircraft that used it myself, but yeah, that doesn't mean there isn't one out there. Does seem like an odd feature though, and one that could potentially increase the search time for a file in the aircraft directories...or even find wrong one in some circumstance. Perhaps it's something that should be reviewed and possibly deprecated for removal at a later date? May not be worth the trouble though... Anyway, thanks to everyone for helping me get my stuff sorted, I appreciate it. I'm still a bit baffled about why it works now but not before...but that's ok. :) cheers! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
