=== Variant-of tag added ===
=== Variant-of tag added ===
Aircraft developers can make use of a new tag in the [[Aircraft-set.xml]] file.  Added to the <code><nowiki><sim></nowiki></code>, the <code><nowiki><variant-of></nowiki></code> tag states to the launcher the aircraft type that your aircraft is a variant of.  For example, the [[British Aerospace Sea Harrier|BAe Sea Harrier FA2]] is a variant of the BAe Sea Harrier, and the ''Cessna 172P - Canvas Demo'' is a variant of the [[Cessna C172P|C172P]].

{{note|At the moment, only the Mac Qt launcher (which comes with FlightGear for Mac v3.4+) will read this tag.}}
