Wrong aircraft is being loaded (737-800 - NG)

Hi all, as mentioned in topic subject, I have downloaded 737-NG from FGAddon official hangar and 737-800 from some 3rd party repository (737-800YV). I have official 737NG in default path - ~/.fgfs/Aircraft/org.flightgear.fgaddon/737NG and "custom" one in ~/.fgfs/CustomAircraft/Aircraft/737-800YV. I have specified additional path in Launcher wizard, I can see both official and custom aircraft in aircraft selection menu, I can successfuly tick (highlight) custom aircraft but still "default" one from FGAddon is being loaded. The only solution is to rename original 737NG folder, then "custom" aircraft is being loaded. Is it possible to set the paths priorities somehow to have the custom aircraft loaded by default without renaming FGAddon aircraft folder?

So basically one has to rename -set.xml files for one of the aircrafts. Than both aircrafts may be selected and both are being loaded.

that should not be necessary... i have two copies of the cessna 172p here and i can easily load either one without conflict... i'll dig deeper to try to confirm this, though...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
