security reasons may bee I'm not looking so wide atm. Why my file system is 
insecure ;-) but there will be some scenarios  which make something that I 
don't want.

I had a look at it, is it possible to get the path into FG via a command line 
option ~ "--fg-AllowedPath="

not all.

If i cloned TheOmegaHangar A330-300 the folder is called
"/home/dirk/.fgfs/Custom/Aircraft/avialable/airbus-a330-300-main/"
this folder name doesn't work.

So I make a symlink 
/home/dirk/.fgfs/Custom/Aircraft/enabled/A330-300/

and the folder --fg-aircraft=/home/dirk/.fgfs/Custom/Aircraft/enabled goes 
into FG

so when I update the repro everything work.

This I have in several custom planes the zips come with different folder some 
times it is in an additional subfolder.

Other example custom scenery.

Motorcycle-fg-CustomScenery it has an Nasal folder and the files have to go 
into .fgfs/Nasal

So I linked it and can update without to copy all files again and again.

no its more my way to reduce workload. And to assist my mind, after 2 weeks I 
can't even say what to copy where and from where these files come.

I start FG from the terminal. My script has 3 main switches 
--senario [dev | fun | tour | dev_air | dev_gs_ellx | dev_mp2 | dev_low_res 
|...]
--airport 
--aircraft

with the --senario I have a sum of start options.
That makes it fast and easy to test the same options, without clicking x 
checkboxes and forget the half.

Kind regards
