October 27, 200619 yr Do I have to put the "Where to Fly" scenery (the Mt. Rainer, Crater Lake and Grand Canyon scenery downloaded from the FlightGear website) in yet another separate file? The Flight Gear documentation says to put the 3 DVDs worth of scenery in a separate folder from the default San Francisco scenery.Is the airport list (text file) used by the FlightGear launch just a list of favorites? After I start FlightGear I can select any airport in the world, but the FlightGear launch program only has the few airports in the San Francisco scenery. I thought when I put the 3 DVDs of world scenery on the computer that the airport list in the FlightGear Launch would magically list all the world's airports.I'm using FlightGear v0.9.09 on Ubuntu Dapper Drake (6.06) Linux and Flightgear v0.9.10 on Windows XP.Thanks,Jeff Sandys
October 27, 200619 yr Just extract the scenery from the DVDs to FlightGear/data/Scenery (Windows) or FlightGear/Scenery (Ubuntu).To get fgrun to display all of the airports you need to click the Refresh button in the airport screen. If you have the scenery installed correctly you should see every airport in the world.
October 30, 200619 yr The refresh button was all I needed.The Where to Fly scenery on the FlightGear website is just a few chuncks taken out of the world. I thought these where special detailed scenery of Mt. Rainer, Crater Lake, and the Grand Canyon, that I would want to install in addition to the World scenery, but they are not extras.-- Jeff
