Yes, something happened: The string was assigned to the object in memory, so that it would be written out to the exported (e-key) or dumped (d-key) data. > I exported model (e-key), and rerun FG agin fgfs > --config=~/.fgfs/ufo-model-export.xml.

The 3D sign placeholder is only for positioning. It isn't meant to display the comment. Not that this wouldn't be nice. It's just not how it is. So, for the signs to show up with your contents, you need to put the OBJECT_SIGN entries into the respective *.stg files. > Am I missing something or should I download the UFO aircraft > from CVS? Yes/No. Note that the current sign specification "language" will change slightly in the future. X-plane basically adopted our format, but together we made some adjustments. In the future, runway/taxiway signs will be contained in our common apt.dat.gz DB, so I wouldn't spend too much time on placing signs now.
