Re: c172p in fgdata

Do not change the content of fgdata, particularly if you had it by 
compilation.

FG is very flexible. You can put the c172p directory (with this name, 
exactly) where you prefer.
"Folder" (Windows ) = "directory" (Linux)
e.g., I have a directory ....FG/Aircraft.
With a c172p inside the Aircraft directory.
You can have several c172p instances in different directories. You just 
have to specify the path at FG launch.

After that, you have to specify the path to the c172p directory.
Either in the launcher,
Or by a fgfsrc file.

You must have, somewhere (launcher or fgfsrc file), a line as 
--fg-aircraft=....../FG/Aircraft, with c172p in the Aircraft directory.
