Note the launcher on '''next''' will be in flux shortly as James will add some new features - support for the [[FlightGear Package Manager|aircraft package manager]] especially, and for specifying some directory locations to support "code only" nightly builds (see [[FlightGear Build Server]]) which use an existing FGData download<ref>http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/33503142/</ref>.

  |This [add-on] screen is work-in-progress, I have moved it already in my local version, but didn’t push the changes yet. There’s new UI around the download location too, and the aircraft-dir changes you mention. For aircraft package support in general, I am hoping that setting FG_AIRCRAFT / —fg-aircraft might not be needed, i.e if aircraft-dir is explicitly set, that would be sufficient. This makes having multiple variants of aircraft co-installed much easier for the package system, but will likely need some code fixes as you already identified.

  |this is an area I’m actively working on, especially how FG to aircraft version handling in the package system works. My current focus is to generate some test hangars on web-hosts to test against, once that works I will call out for other volunteers (Syd Adams already gracefully offered). Expect some churn in this area, in the next few weeks.
