Copy .obj file just before loading, to replace dataRefs and texture.
These routines make a copy of an .obj file just before it gets loaded by X-Plane. This way we can replace dataRefs and textures.
xsb_aircraft.txt formats vary by now out in the wild. For example, X-CSL/X-IvAp used to defined texture on the OBJ8 line. X-Plane, especially for instancing, cannot replace textures on the fly. The solution is to copy the .obj file, replacing the up to two lines defining the texture to use, and then only have it loaded by X-Plane.- CSL-Models might not use correct dataRefs as supported by XPMP2. For example are the widely used Bluebell models known to have translated only a limited set of dataRefs from their World Traffic origin into the libxplanemp world. XPMP2 now supports a lot more dataRefs. Replacing dataRef names in those models unlocks a number of feature like rotating props/rotors, turning wheels, or reversers.
