Problem:
After recompiling SG and FG from Git, the QT launcher's "Aircraft" tab does not show the installed default aircraft (C172p , Video Assistant, UFO). All three are present in $FGDATA/Aircraft.

OS: Arch Linux
Latest FG commit: a3d75e8573f789e92f319dd294619ed49ba7dd8b (Mar 16, 2020)
Latest SG commit: c8d802bc1d7d26e5d017c41c7612db34e9c0a5cb (Mar 15, 2020)

Reproduction:
Compile FG and SG from the "Next" branch
"fgfs --launch"

Workaround:
Add $FGDATA/Aircraft as an additional aircraft folder in the "Add-ons" tab
Restart the launcher --> duplicate entries for the C172 and UFO in the "aircraft" tab
Remove the folder from "additional folders" again
Restart the launcher
--> The default aircraft display in the "Aircraft" tab just fine; FG loads them properly

    I've just rebuilt SG and FG and I do not see this issue reoccur. Thanks for the fix!
