I believe Necolatis really has a point.
In order for "Aircraft/707/something" to work, the 707 has to be in a directory named "Aircraft" (and not any other name! case sensitive!), and the root of this directory included in FG_AIRCRAFT. Hence, if I'm using $HOME/FlightGear/Aircraft as an external directory, FG_AIRCRAFT must be set to $HOME/FlightGear. Since other aircrafts do use relative paths, the complete variable must be set to FG_AIRCRAFT="$HOME/FlightGear:$HOME/FlightGear/Aircraft". This is awkward.
I really think relative paths must be used in the form suggested by Necolatis by removing all references to "Aircraft/707/", but I can't do any test right now.
