Since 2017.2.1, explicit download-dir will no longer create catalog to
that location, unlike scenery, aircraft will still download to the
default location regardless, additionally in Windows(clean OS install,
same drive), if explicit download-dir is set, starting catalog aircraft
from the default location will report reading permission problem for
Nasal files, unless --allow-nasal-read is passed and set to where
catalog /Aircraft folder is located[1], user will report the issue as
blank Canvas displays, missing huds from aircraft, etc for catalog
fgaddon aircraft on Flightgear 2017.2.1
[1] in Windows 10, if i specify explicit path for download-dir, i must
pass
--allow-nasal-read=C:/Users/Hamza/Documents/FlightGear/Aircraft/org.flightgear.fgaddon/
for Nasal to work on catalog aircraft.
* I can also work around this by passing
--fg-aircraft=C:/Users/Hamza/Documents/FlightGear/Aircraft/org.flightgear.fgaddon/
, this will add an /Aircraft postfix to that path, under
"/sim/fg-aircraft[1]"
