I think there is a problem in how the scenery path is searched. I think I have traced my segmention error to a system.fgfsrc file left behind (correctly)when I updated my data files. This pointed to a recently downloaded Terrasync file. When I point to the ../data/scenery path, the system functions correctly, when I point to the Terrasync file, it fails. I have moved the contents of the Terrasync file to ../data/scenery, and all is well. Bug or Feature?
