The following appears in a DOS window as the program is booting:Error: RenderTexturerequires the following unsupported OpenGL extentions:WGL_ARB_extentions_string [that looks like a "W" could be a "V"] Model Author: Dave Culp Creation Date: 2006-01-04 Version: $Revision: 1.0 $ Description: Models a 737.Reading xml electrical system model from ....It then lists altitude, sea level radius, lat and longIt ends with "Unknown exception in the main loop.

There isn't really a default plane, but I would recommend trying the Cessna 172P to start out, it should work. If you want to get the 737 to work, try downloading the newest version of it.

>Is there a default plane that should be used (there is quite a>list provided) also a good many locations.When you don't specify any airplane, you should in fact start up using the default plane (c172p)>I read that the program comes with only metro San Fransico.>The download from the web included a lot of planes and>locations.>Any ideas as to my problem?Yes, many ideas-but nothing specific, because you didn't provide very specific information, if you are interested in solving this problem, you might want to check out the troubleshooting section from the FlightGear wiki, where there's a list of items that you should preferably provide in order to enable other users to try to help you:http://wiki.flightgear.org/flightgear_wiki...ooting_Problems
