That program really should be just asking for the Flightgear root path, or better yet, using the FG_SCENERY environment variable (and complaining / suggesting that it be set if it's not.

(there are no ai\** files in the. Start up flightgear anyway, and using the "location" feature, I positioned the aircraft at 44n80w. hmm maybe I'll try putting some files in the ai\airports directory and see what happens) (I ran the sysinternals filemon program and 'refresh' appears to be only reading / writing in the data\ai\airports directory.
