Thanks Ron!
I discovered my mistake after looking at the Concorde config for an hour.
The instrumentation config file has to be included inside the <sim> tags 
otherwise the <path> tag is just treated as a property.
So there is a need for two <instrumentation> sections in a set file. One 
inside the sim section and one outside the sim section.

Sure, it's generic to military aircraft but does that mean that all civilian 
aircraft in FG should have TACAN as well?
Why aircaft like the j3cub must have  tacan, KT-70, wxradar, mk-viii by 
default is beyond my reasoning capabilities.  :)

And why are two nav radios and comms radios set up in the generic config and 
not two dme devices? There are far more aircraft with dual DME devices than 
there are aircraft with TACAN capabilities.

And then there is the mk-viii which should never have been added to the 
generic config since it's used on a very small percentage of aircraft.
