I have altered some files to make sure it is using the V 2.6.0 r319, and it is.
How do I make V 2.10 use it's own directory for Scenery-TerraSync?
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi Vic,
you're not alone. It is exactly the same behavior here.
I thought this setting was moved into the autosave.xml in the .fgfs directory (path: /User/xxx/.fgfs.). So I tried changing it there, but without success. It stays at V2.6.0r319. So no idea for now from where FG gets this.
Interesting to see would be what's happening if you don't have 2.6 installed. But I don't want to delete my installation just to find out.
In the scenery download dialog window the path is displayed, but you can't change it. Now I find out, that clicking on the down-arrow on the right offers you another path, if you defined one via the command line. But if it's already defined, choosing it again doesn't make much sense. My dream would be, that FG create a scenery-terrasync directory in /data per default just not to confuse new users and you could browse your directories and choose one via the dialog-window instead. But this might not be realistic for the 2.10 release.
