Mention on th FlightGear mailing list in [Flightgear-devel] C172-common on next
I noticed the c172 changed its multiplayer model-id on next.
Why is this so? It confuses default model loading as well as mpmap display…
Would it be possible to make it revert to the „correct“ default name?
It came down to the renaming of c172p.xml to c172p-common.xml. As far as I know or remember that was likely done when the variants were being created and finalized.
The MP system pulls from the path "Model/model-name" for it's tracking of aircraft across the system.
There is no reason c172-common.xml can't be named what it used to be, c172p.xml) so it flows through the MP system in a historically consistent manner.
This issue and associated PR is to correct the path name.
