i have two c172p craft in my installation... the default one in fgdata and then the one from the c172p development repo which i have in myflightgear/Aircraft... this directory is pointed to by adding an entry to the launcher's "configure add-on aircraft and scenery" button... it is the last box at the bottom and on my setup contains "/home/myuser/myflightgear/Aircraft" and "/home/myuser/flightgear-dev/fgaddon-ng/Aircraft"... the first one being where i keep my custom craft and the second being my repo of FGADDON... the order they are listed in is important, too... i forget the details but some things take precedence over others...
oh yeah... if you are specifying this from the command line instead of within the launcher, the option is --fg-aircraft=dir1:dir2 in the same order as above... note that you have to use the proper path separator for your OS, too... on *nix it is a colon ":" but on winwhatever it is a semi-colon ";" (IIRC)...
also, another hint, is to hover your mouse over the craft in the launcher and a tooltip will popup with the directory where the craft is located... this is how i can tell if i'm using the development c172p or the default one in fgdata...
hope this helps...
"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."
