I need more information on this. What aircraft did you select? What options did you specify? It might have something to do with the last post I made. Here is the excerpt of my post: > I found a bug in osgdb_qt.so for the latest FlightGear/cvs. The > problem is that fgfs crashes when loading Textures/Sky/broken.rgba for > the aircraft that have a non-rgb (say png) splash image. > > I made a patch to solve this problem, and I already sent to an OSG > developer.

If this update won't help, then the aircraft you specified might not work on the snapshot. Try using another one and check if that works. I don't guarantee that all the aircraft work on FlightGear, especially on snapshot release.

As I wrote in my post, the web page is down due to sourceforge's database outage, which is caused during their data migration process. I hope the web page will be back soon. Anyway, here is the page cache from google search: http://209.85.175.104/search?q=cache:si9uE6unWYQJ:macflightgear.sourceforge.net/home/documents/aircraft-links+dave%27s+hanger+flightgear&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=6 Here's the list of the links shown in the page, just in case. http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/aircraft/index.shtml http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/JSBSim-LTA/ http://home.comcast.net/~davidculp2/hangar/hangar.html http://www.sol2500.net/flightgear/aircraft.html http://pagesperso-orange.fr/GRTux/tux/index-en.html http://helijah.free.fr/flightgear/hangar.htm http://seahorse.10gbfreehost.com/flightgear_aircraft.html You can download aircraft from these sites, and then install the aircraft by selecting "Install Add-on data" from the other tab on GUI launcher.
