There is nothing contradictory. Prior to the latest git pull (for me, was
couple of months ago) flying at KSFO I remember seeing A/C sitting at the
terminals and a lot of placed objects like power pylons etc around the vicinity
of KSFO. When I try KSFO now with
--prop:sim/paths/use-custom-scenery-data=false as suggested by Scott,
everything is OK again - I see A/C at gates, 1 or 2 taxiing around the
airfield, and I see all the objects like power pylons, bridges etc... - with
--prop:sim/paths/use-custom-scenery-data=true (which is the default) there are
a small group of a/c behaving weirdly in the middle of the airfield, all the
objects like power pylons, buildings other than the terminal, etc are all gone.
As I said *nothing* from the fgdata I downloaded a couple of days ago is
overwritten - my old stuff (couple of WIP a/c, e150s30 Scenery tile rebuild, 2
folders of custom models) gets added to a copy of the latest fgdata so I can
use it all, but unless
I specify --prop:sim/paths/use-custom-scenery-data=false on the command line
all my custom models vanish and ai planes do weird stuff.
Its a non-issue now in that --prop:sim/paths/use-custom-scenery-data=false
fixes it for me, but I'm confused as to why it would be set true by default. My
goal in creating the custom stuff I did was to add to the default, not
completely replace it. Unless I set
--prop:sim/paths/use-custom-scenery-data=false it appears that my custom stuff,
which is installed in the "default" location, is not used. How should default
and custom scenery be arranged?
Best regards,
Chris Wilkinson, YBBN/BNE.

This sounds a bit contradictory to me: On one hand you claim not to
overwrite anything in your 'live' folder, on the other hand you claim
certain 'custom' aircraft not to show up at KSFO as they should (as far
as I understand from your vague description). How do you mean to add
custom aircraft to KSFO without overwriting or modifying any files ?
Cheers,
Martin.
