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
Fixed in FlightGear commit 5dc2f20848c92a424e8d48594e9b36111d248c87

Same workaround, which works.
Default aircraft are back for me on next. It worked, can confirm.
I've just rebuilt SG and FG and I do not see this issue reoccur. Thanks for the fix!
