Not here. It seems to be stuck at this weird default value: C:/Program Files/FlightGear-nightly-2010/osgPlugins-3.0.1 Why there - decidedly odd? Win 7 will not permit a program to write to Program Files, so it fails. I can't enter any different value, or navigate above "Program Files" using the gui. I have tried deleting the value in AppData\Roaming\flightgear.org\autosave_2_11.xml (which I wouldn't expect a user to do - or even find), but neither doing that nor anything else I can think of has fixed it. > On Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 4:08 PM, James Turner wrote: > > I suspect both of these are my 'fault', but equally I was only made > > aware of the TerraSync one a few weeks ago, and the screenshot one, > > this is the first I've heard of it. > > Well, the Terrasync was caused by adding an additional <nasal><open> block > at the top of the file, so the one at the bottom was ignored :) > > <snip> > > In the particular case of the Terrasync path I am especially confused > > because it's not possible to change the terrasync path once fgfs is > > running, as never has been as far as I know; since we can't adjust > > scenery paths with restarting the sim.

I don't remember if we used to need a restart - I suppose we must have done. What was the pull-down in the menu item for? Nearly back to square one - well done.
