Hi all !It's free software, it's open-source, and the new version is available here:http://www.flightgear.org/news/flightgear-v2-6-0-released/Happy flying ! :(

I forgot to mention !!! This flight simulator has no "top secret" SDK, and is not limited to a small island in the Pacific Ocean.

I think it is time I had another closer look at flightgear. Looks to have improved out of sight since I last tryed it.

Visit the new options in the Rendering Settings window. You'll find very nice shaders for the water, 3D clouds, ...

Never hear much concerning it, Maybe I will download it today and see how it runs and what it offers, so what is the most advanced plane available for it?

Hi,I am new to FGFS, can someone guide me how do I get good water reflection and waves, and, good 3D clouds? What I got from FGFS 2.6.0.1 is a large dull blue solid. Steps explaining to get these effects would be helpful.My Specs:-INTEL Dual-core 2.6 GHz-2GB RAM-Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS 512 MB (I know that is too low, but it may do the job?)-Windows 7 64-bitAny help would be appreciated!Regards,Uzair.

I installed it but had issues running it and so did a few friends. I wouldn't mind playing Flightgear if I could get it to just install easier let me reinstall it and see if I can reproduce the issue again. I do love how it looks.

OK here is what I get when installed:

 

 

Then clicking next as follows:

 

 

And then it stops on this so I am lost:

 

Any help would be appreciated. I know it isn't a simple windows installer procedure but I am lost as to how to get it up and running. Once learned I will make sure I pass this information on to others whom have the same issue that I know.

And then it stops on this so I am lost

Please tick the "Show commandline" option on the last page and copy&paste the contents of the box that appears. That'll allow us to see what options you've set (apparently there are some options missing/faulty).

 

Cheers,

Yeah just not sure where to post it in the FG forums theres alotta areas for various items. here there is one spot lmao

The general support subforum would be okay -> http://www.flightgea...wforum.php?f=17

And if not, I or the other moderators will simply move it (no need to fear the moderators at our forum :P)

In a triumph of hope over experience, I downloaded and installed FlightGear on Win7 in C:\FlightGear.

 

On clicking the desktop icon I got the attached window. Note that the Next button is greyed out and I could find no way the change that. Clicking the Defaults button followed by Reset gave the message "fgrun.exe has stopped working" with Windows searching for a solution.

Needless to say I've uninstalled it, yet again!
