Right, this is all automatic now - has been since before 2.6 I think. At least 
on Mac I set a 'correct' directory - in Library/Application 
Support/FlightGear/Terrasync. Of course this is only a default, but for most 
users it's enough.

If there's bugs / edge-cases that are not working, please report them and they 
should be fixable, possibly with a couple of extra configuration options.

Usability was the main reason for making terrasync be available as in-process 
option, and I'm strongly considering doing the same thing for fgcom, although 
that has a few extra complications.

BTW, usability is also the reason I made the network options configurable 
inside the sim, and have been making more subsystems support a clean reset, so 
that it's possible to sanely control more behaviours with direct results in the 
sim.
