That's how I thought it should work, but I don't get this to work. After some
more experimentation, I found that I can save the property using
userarchive="y", into autosave.xml. But using "archive" doesn't seem to work.
My hypothesis is that "userarchive" save a property globally, whereas "archive"
saves it into the local, aircraft specific (.fgfs/aircraft-data/777-200ER.xml)
file. But,I couldn't find these properties anywhere.
Incidentally, I did find a few "interesting things". Taking
/sim/aircraft-operaror as an example, I added:
<sim>
<aircraft-operator userarchive="y">NONE</aircraft-operator>
</sim>
to the 777-200ER-set.xml file, and added
<sim>
<aircraft-operator>DAL</aircraft-operator>
</sim>
<sim>
<aircraft-operator>KLM</aircraft-operator>
</sim>
<sim>
<aircraft-operator>BAW</aircraft-operator>
</sim>
To the DAL, KLM, and BAW .xml fles in Models/Liveries, assuming that these
would override the values of the already existing properties. However that's
not what happens: This way the property value does not get saved, presumably
because it destroys the original property object and replaces it with a new one
that doesn't carry the "userarchive" flag. Is that correct? After adding the
"userarchive" flag, to the properties in the Livery xml files, I found that
they were saved again.
Finally, I would be perfectly happy to just use the value stored in the livery
xml file, but the problem here is that the aircraft model is only read AFTER
the initial position has been calculated. At that point, the
<aircraft-operator> property is still set to the default value of NONE, which
essentially makes it useless. If there would be other ways to retrieve a
property from the currently selected livery xml file that I would also be
interested in hearing that.
So close, yet so far away...
cheers,
Durk
