I think we’re pretty close now, I fixed a plugin deployment issue with Windows yesterday. So the current Mac and Windows nightlies are good to test, especially the ‘fat’ versions.

There is code added to copy Models/, Airports/ and whatever scenery is found from the installation data to the terrasync location, if terrasync is enabled. This avoids duplicate downloading of those files, but still allows updated versions to be delivered via TerraSync.

One remaining fix, is to adjust the launcher search paths so the installation Airports/ tree is searched as a fallback; this will give parking positions available immediately in the launcher, which is obviously very desirable. I’ll work on that today.

Kind regards,
James
