Some SP1 notes and questions

First, thanks for releasing the Hawk SP1.

During the install process I encountered some minor issues and had some questions.

On my first install attempt I did a complete uninstall and reinstall. After checking my work (using a 3d party app.), I encountered duplicate entries. At first I thought it might be due to the additional texture packages, so I went through a complete uninstall of the two texture packages and the SP1.

On my second install attempt I did a full uninstall and reinstall of SP1 and the addon textures. I still encountered the duplicate entries. It appears that the entire context of the aircraft.cfg is duplicated within the file (and within the aircraft_standard.cfg). If you do a search for the [[gpws] section you will note that [fltsim.0] and other sections are repeated. After removing the duplicate sections, all is well.

Which leads me to my question. What is the best procedure for installing SP1 if you already have the two texture packs installed? And how best to handle addon textures with the additional cfg files (standard and Xstable?

Thanks, Rich.

Can you explain a little more how the config and failure apps affect or change the aircraft.cfg [fltsim] entries?

Yesterday, I was checking out my config and failure settings to see if they might be affecting my ILS/Tacan readouts. I did activate then deactivated the Failures, but left everything disabled as before. This morning I went to do a test flight, and discovered that the entire aircraft.cfg had been replaced and all the addon textures were removed. Fortunately, I had a backup but it took me a while to figure out what happened. I would think that anytime I changed the flight model, it would change the [fltsim] entries but I didn't think that would happen with setting the failures.

Anyways, things are back to normal for the moment. Still trying to figure out why the Tacan and ILS don't function as expected, but at least I have all my textures back.
