When it is said they should go to FG_ROOT, it means that they should go in data/ In fact, they are put in data/Models/fgfsdb/ but Models/fgfsdb is already in the tar. They are shared, and the path relative to $FG_ROOT is stored in the .stg file, so they can't be moved, and if they happened to be overwritten, it would be because someone commit them in CVS. -Fred -- Frédéric Bouvier http://frfoto.free.fr Photo gallery - album photo http://www.fotolia.fr/p/2278 Other photo gallery http://fgsd.sourceforge.net/ FlightGear Scenery Designer ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
