 I'm not sure about waht you mean by "fool the system" :-)
 So you wrote a flight plan my_fp.xml for your myplane.xml. You've added an
entry in conf.xml named "MyPlane" with attribute airframe equal to
"airframes/myplane.xml" and attribute flight_plan equal to
"flight_plans/my_fp.xml".
 "make AIRCRAFT=MyPlane sim" went right.
 You also edited control_panel.xml and added a session "MySession" (sorry about
these stupid IDs) with the appropriate simulator:
 <program name="sim"><arg flag="-a" constant="MyPlane"/></program>
In this session, you kept at least the "server" and the "gcs"
 You ran sw/supervision/paparazzi.pl (or "make demo") and selected the
"MySession" entry from the menu.
 What went wrong ?

 Another story ...
