I'm guessing that falco installs the mods into a temporary folder and then copies the files into his modded game. (This is how I had been doing it until the Beau X install)
Like the restructuring Fly spoke of, doing this prevents the installer from editing the files in the STD folder, so when the files are copied into your modded game folder the air.ini, plane_ru.properties and weapons_ru.properties only contain the entries for the new AC.
Fly - Thanks for the post on the structure it needs to be a sticky on its own. Can you explain why the Alphabetization is optional if it is required for future AC addins?
(BTW, I think many of the old-timers (October and November adopters) still have their renamed "files" folder buried in their MODS directory and this bites us now and then.)
