For the record, we strongly object against aircraft in FGAddon overriding the predicate section of effects - it's there for a reason. This may (appear to) work now, but please understand that it's neither future-proof nor harmless - any maintenance on effects on fgdata has the potential to cause rather subtle and difficult to understand breakage. We have always aimed at keeping any development of effects backward-compatible (i.e. aircraft maintainers don't need to take action, effects with added features always default to the known behavior) - thus, breaking this is a path forward.<ref>{{cite web | For the record, we strongly object against aircraft in FGAddon overriding the predicate section of effects - it's there for a reason.

What's really bad is overriding the FGData-side effect selection scheme scheme aircraft-side because that can cause unexpected breakage when FGData changes. If it's all completely aircraft-side, FGData maintenance doesn't affect it.<ref>{{cite web | |||
