You could try to explicitly specify it as a string type: <path type="string">Aircraft/Generic/generic-systems.xml</path> in preferences.xml. Are you absolutely 100% sure that '/Flightgear-cvs/data/Aircraft/Generic/generic-systems.xml' exists? > A quick cout check in systems_mgr.cxx shows that path_n = 0, so there's the > problem.

And the autopilot does not explicitly set the type to string, so I have little hopes for my tip :-( > So, it's not a "duh" yet :-). Any advice on what to check next?

You could try to insert a cout in xmlauto.cxx, in the init method of FGXMLAutopilot, at least to confirm that path_n != 0 there. Maybe '/sim/systems/path' does not exist in the property tree when instr_mgr is trying to read it. You could try to set this property in the command line, I forget how to, but I'm sure you'll figure it out. Try to step through the code with a debugger. IIRC 'insight' should be available on Cygwin. -- Roy Vegard Ovesen _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
