I tried running fgrun and here's what happened... First the the executable: /usr/bin/fgfs
Then FG_ROOT, I took a guess here and put in /usr/share/FlightGear Since if I typed anything more it replaced that with what I was typing. Then in scenery /usr/share/Flight Gear/Scenery I left Airport Cache to /home/tj/.fltk/flightgear.org/airports.txt Since I didn't know what the hell to put in here. I then hit 'Next" button and it's still screwed up. For the Cessna 172 you only see a black instrument panel and the nav lights going round and round. No aircraft body. For the A-10 you see the pilot, the engines, the bombs, landing gear and cannon. No aircraft body. Now some like the Hawker Hunter just show a completely black airplane. I chose the Cessna and then an airport. I then selected 800x600 and nothing else and hit Run and fgrun promptly gave a "Segmentation fault". But even here in the aircraft selection window the planes are not drawing correctly. The 172 has no body in the rotating selection just as it doesn't in the actual flight sim executed by just fgfs. So again, what is going on? tj Jon Stockill wrote: >Hal V.
