I have had issues in the past with this problem, but thought it was just me

First up - tell the creator of FLMM - I dunno if Matt is still working on it at all, or if he "supports" it anymore, but if he does, then maybe he can have a look as to why sometimes the scripts don't append.

To fix your issue - I mostly do a "section replace" when this happens, and then replace the LAST object in the Rh04.ini file with itself + all of the stuff you want in there as well.
Gets round the problem - not as nice as the append for sure, but it will get round it (hopefully).

That has happened to me so i replaced the

<data file="DATA\UNIVERSE\SYSTEMS\RH04\Rh04.ini" method="append">
<source>

</source>
</data>

and for some reason it worked.

The best solution to your problem is to refrain from scripted mods.
They degrade the freelancer installation and are an open invitation to errors.

Not to contradict Glock because he is one of the best when it comes to modifying the files and his intelligence level is close to Einstein's.
He forgets that this is modding for beginners and Glock is about as advanced as you can get.

There can be a good point to scripts also though...
They can generate the necessary entries in the ini files without hand editing the files which if you make a mistake causes problems so either way errors can happen but what makes scripts nice is that scripting can make it easy for those that do not want to edit the dll files because the script can generate the necessary data without having to edit a dll file...
So I suppose they have their good and bad points.
