#380 FGRun does not support white-spaces in fg-aircraft path
Originally created by: gijsrooy

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch FlightGear with an --fg-aircraft path that contains spaces (eg. --fg-aircraft=C:/Program Files/FlightGear/Aircraft.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
FlightGear should run normally, but instead it quits with the following error:
Fatal error: Failed to open file
at Files/FlightGear/Aircraft
(received from SimGear XML Parser)
What FlightGear version (or GIT date)?
Today's Git and Jenkins.
What operating system and graphics card?
Windows Vista and 7
--fg-scenery and --fg-root do support spaces, so I consider this as a bug. And quite a serious one for Windows users that would like to use this awesome new feature in 2.4.0, so priority set to high. Eventough nowadays the "release must go on" :)

Did you try
"--fg-aircraft=C:/Program Files/FlightGear"
or
--fg-aircraft="C:/Program Files/FlightGear"
?

For Windows, I wouldn't be surprised if even that should to the trick:
"--fg-aircraft="C:/Program Files/FlightGear""
We need a hack like that for spawning the system() command for svn.

Hm, it actually looks more like a FGRun bug. FGRun doesn't show any "" in its commandline (on the last page), but I suspect it does add them to the "actual" commandline that is output, except for fg-aircraft...
Spaces in fg-root and fg-scenery do work in FGRun, but when I run the same command (the one that is displayed inside FGRun that is) via cmd.exe, I get the error.
