I was thinking at some point that there should be a system by which FG could figure this out automatically. If every automatically generated object had a unique ID this could be possible. An object loaded from a path listed earlier in $FG_SCENERY (and therefore probably not from the base scenery) that has the same ID could prevent the original object from being loaded. The main drawback I see is that once the ID numbers of the automatically generated objects are assigned they have to be persistent. I don't know it it's possible to do this between releases. Just to clarify, by automatically generated objects, I mean the ones that are automatically generated from other data sources by Curt's scripts. Additionally you could just not allow two objects at the exact same lat/lon. Assuming that the lat/lons in the source data never change that could serve as the unique ID. This would require some additional rules for stacking objects on top of each other. e.g. I have a somewhat generic water tower at KADW with a generic military beacon sitting on top of it. They should definitely be separate objects, but both have the same lat/lon.
