 Are the names generated randomly or are they really missing ?


Neither, actually. For now, this is by design. The AIFlightplan constructor 
that the traffic manager calls tries first to open a pre-exsisting 
flightplan. If that doesn't work, however, it reverts to a fallback procedure 
that creates a flightplan dynamically. 

I would like to keep that functionality, although I'm not sure if using the 
exception mechanism is the best way to do this. I'm interested in your folks' 
opinions.

Cheers,

My opinion is that exceptions are good if they are caught.
It is just that it appeared few days ago that missing files
were throwing uncaught exceptions and I was wondering if
all mandatory files were included before the release.
