this comes from things being hidden in the GUI world... draw the directories out in the tree format they are actually in and it will be easier to see...
eg:
flightgear/
flightgear/Aircraft/
flightgear/Aircraft/B-52F/
flightgear/Aircraft/B-52F/Dialogs/
flightgear/Aircraft/B-52F/Models/
in the above, Dialogs/ and Models/ are on the same level... they may have deeper levels within them...
from Dialogs/ (or Models/), B-52F/ is one level above...
from Dialogs/ (or Models/), Aircraft/ is two levels above...
from Dialogs/ (or Models/), flightgear/ is three levels above...
from B-52F/, Aircraft/ is one level above...
from B-52F/, flightgear/ is two levels above...
in this example, flightgear/ is at the top level...
does that make more sense?
you can actually see this in your OS if you use the "tree view" instead of the "folder" or "icon" views...
BTW: Welcome to FlightGear! it really is a great community even if there are a few rough patches at times

"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
