A message from developer Frederic B.:For people having difficulties to catch the output of the FG console, I built this fgrun :ftp://ftp.ihg.uni-duisburg.de/FlightGear/...ith-console.zipthat catch those output and stay opened as long as fgrun run.On a general basis, I am very sorry to hear that the build I provide crash for some people. Unfortunately, PC setup are so diverse that I can't reproduce every possible combinaison. And there are so few MSVC programmers here that people able to give insightful hint about a possible problem are reduced to a very small group.-Fred

Same problem with Version 0.9.4 and with your fgrun.exehere is the error message:

Have you tried starting FlightGear without the launcher, using the command shell?http://flightgear.org/Docs/InstallGuide/ge...tml#x9-310004.2That way, we can check whether it is FlightGear's problem, or fgrun's problem.

Thanks for the revised fgrun. It will be useful.You should not take the complaints about the problems on Windows personally. We are pleased that there is someone who is willing to do a Windows build and provide an easier way to get it started and configured.It is just a pity that there are so few Windows programmers involved with FlightGear.regards,Alan.

I get the same error:Fatal Error: Could not gen sourceThis looks like a message from simgear, openal. If you google "gen source" flight gear, you find this link:http://www.simgear.org/doxygen/sample__ope...cxx-source.htmlThis the sound sample encapsalation class.The code generating the error is:00193 // Bind buffer with a source.00194 alGenSources(1, &source);00195 if (alGetError() != AL_NO_ERROR) {00196 throw sg_exception("Failed to gen source.");00197 }So its something to do with the simgear library. Is there something about the 0.9.6 and the simgear library included with it that could be breaking the Windows XP, sp2 version?with kind regards,the elephantwalker

Hi Just try this.Make two fg programs running at the same time just clicking run and yes fast one after other in fgrun.If it does not work, open three instances of the program in the same way. RegardsP.S. If possible back me the result.

I get the same error with Version 0.9.6:Fatal Error: Could not gen sourceBut I run on Windows XP SP1I have a Pentium4 3Ghz machine with 512MB Ram and a Radion 9800XL video cardSound chip is C-Media AC97 Audio DeviceThe same version does run on a HP Laptop (Old machine with W2K-prof) and on a HP desktop with W2K Prof. (Slow Machine - Pentium2)The pentium 4 is running in dual mode on the failing machine.Kind Regards,Scenic

Have been having the same problem on Win2k. Couldn't run 0.9.5. Can't run 0.9.6. Tried to run two instances... both crashed. When running three, SUCCESS! Of course, my machine crawls until I kill the extra instances of FG. Then everything runs fine.

Followup. Heard that updating drivers might solve the problem. I'm using an ABIT NV7-133R (nForce chipset). I started with the latest nForce platform drivers. Flightgear still failed. Then downloaded and installed the latest (beta) drivers from realtek.com for Realtek ALC650. Flightgear problem solved. It's good to be flying again!
