Yes you need the following following directory tree for JSBSim to work

/path/from/which/you/run/JSBSim
|
|- aircraft/
|- engine/
|- systems/

Alternatively you can use --root to point to the directory where aircraft,
engine and systems are located.

You are probably using the old XML format: JSBSim moved to a new syntax for
the XML configuration files many years ago.
If that is the case, the modification of the version number in your files
will probably not be sufficient: you'll have to update your XML
configuration files to the new syntax.
