Good. [time passes] Argl?!? Now it says:
---- snip ------------
Reading properties from x15.cfg
readProperties: FATAL: not well-formed at line 7, column 1
--config: failed to read properties from x15.cfg
---- snip ------------

Here is the contents of my x15.cfg:

---- snip ------------
--prop:/sim/model/path=3DModels/geometry/x15.ac
--prop:/sim/model/r-rotation=3D-7
--prop:/sim/model/z-offset=3D0.288
---- snip ------------

It doesn't have 7 lines, do I need Unix line endings?
[time passes] No, that doesn't help either.
Ok, I will go on looking.

It is clear to me that we are not able to implement animation now.
Therefore I would have two different models and the user would have to
choose one, for example in x15afterdrop.cfg we could use the one
without gear and in x15ground.cfg and x15final.cfg we could use the
one with gear. Like I said, its only 11kB (packed), after my
optimizations probably less.

Ok.

Bye bye,
