#858: Fix loading issue with aircraft models in --fg-aircraft directories
Something after FG 2.8.0 has broken loading aircraft models from
--fg-aircraft directories. Issue is fixed by resolving the aircraft path
in FGAircraftModel (though this module itself hasn't changed and things
were working before...).

I'm very suspicious of this - I don't think there's been any post 2.8 commit 
that could change such a core behaviour. (I don't read every single commit in 
detail, but I look at the summaries)

The change is certainly valid, but I'd be much happier knowing why it worked 
before and what broke it. I'll take a quick look myself but any help would be 
appreciated.

2012-09-05 Thread Alan Teeder
I can confirm that it (--fg-aircraft directories)was broken,and was about to 
investigate further when ThorstenB made it work again. Thanks.

I think that the bug appeared very recently, perhaps within the last 2 
weeks, but cannot be 100% sure when

Alan

I checked commit comments, but couldn't find anything related. Checked a 
bit closer now: my best _guess_ is, it's related to the following 
simgear change:

 commit f1201eaebc3fbb8964e06b7ef158fd34a12901aa
 Author: Mathias Froehlich
 Date:   Sat Aug 25 08:43:12 2012 +0200

 scene: Reorganize stg loading.


Specifically, the diff contains:

 SGReaderWriterXML::readNode(const std::string fileName,
  {
 +std::string fileName = osgDB::findDataFile(name, options);
 +
  osg::Node *result=0;
  try {
  SGPath p = SGModelLib::findDataFile(fileName);

The XML reader relies on osgDB to resolve paths now. If 
osgDB::findDataFile cannot find the file, it returns , in which case 
SGModelLib::findDataFile cannot search any additional directories.
So, maybe osgDB::findDataFile doesn't know about extra directories, 
while SGModelLib::findDataFile was fg-aircraft aware. Not sure why the 
change was applied in the first place.

Again, I haven't tested - it just looks plausible and somehow related. 
Maybe you or Mathias can investigate if that's what triggered it and 
whether anything else may still be broken now.

cheers,
Thorsten

Ah, that's exactly it - we need to use the SGModelLib to get the additional 
paths searched!

Mathias, can you explain what was the problem here which required you to use 
the plain OSG version? My version is simply a wrapper which tries the 
aircraft-dir paths (and soon, some other data directories!) before the default 
osg paths.
