Using ls -l command, in /usr/local/FlightGear-0.9/data/Aircraft/c172p/ rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39312 Nov 1 04:34 kap140.nas > > Did you say you used the c172r?!

For some reason that I can't recall, I'd started using the c172r rather than default c172p. > > This is in my .fgfsrc > > --fg-root=/usr/local/FlightGear-0.9/data/ > > Are you absolutely, 100%, positively sure that this > is the directory that you > just updated to latest CVS?

There are files/directories with dates of Nov 10 17:35, so I'm certain I issued the cvs command from the Flightgear parent directory above /data. > > For the past few months I've used the autopilot > menu > > at top of FG screen, which I've read is not the > way to > > go. > > Well for aircraft that don't have a custom/explicit > autopilot configuration, > the menu _is_ the way to go.

Don't have much interest in many other aircraft at this time. I enjoy flying the Cessna around in IMC and doing instrument approaches. The last pilot I spoke with after a recent USAir 737 flight thought I was in ground school! Many thanks Roy.
