190 <u>Where can I get the latest version of this FAQ?</u>
195 <a href="http://flightgear.org/Docs/FlightGear-FAQ.html">http://flightgear.org/Docs/FlightGear-FAQ.html</a>
201 <u>Who do I contact if I have comments about this FAQ?</u>
205 <p>First contact the author. If you get no response, send your
206 comments to the FlightGear-Users mailing list.</p>
211 <u>How old is this document?</u>
215 <p>See the <i>About This Document</i> section at the end of the FAQ.</p>
220 <u>What other important documentation should I read?</u>
224 <p>Most FlightGear documentation is linked to from
225 <a href="http://flightgear.org/Docs/">http://flightgear.org/Docs/</a>.
226 Definitely check out the <i>FlightGear Installation and Getting
227 Started</i> document available from the aforementioned location.</p>
228 <p>Also see the <code>FlightGear/docs-mini/</code> directory in the
229 source distribution for various other helpful documents.</p>
240 <u>Where can I get FlightGear?</u>
244 <p>The official download page is
245 <a href="http://flightgear.org/Downloads/">http://flightgear.org/Downloads/</a>.
246 Source code is our primary form of distribution, but precompiled
247 binaries are available for Windows and SGI IRIX.</p>
248 <p>Alternatively, FlightGear is packaged for Linux by SuSE, Debian
249 (sid), and Mandrake (Cooker) and can be directly installed through
250 those distributions.</p>
255 <u>What is the password for the FTP server?</u>
259 <p>The FTP server uses standard anonymous login procedures. Login
260 with the username "anonymous" and use your email address as the
261 password. Most FTP clients and web browsers will do this
262 automatically for you.</p>
267 <u>Why won't the FTP server let me in with the right login info?</u>
271 <p>This generally means that the server is at it's capacity. You
272 should receive a message saying such, but your FTP client may be
273 hiding it from you. Your options are to keep trying until a slot
274 opens up or try connecting to one of our <i>FTP</i> mirrors listed at
275 <a href="http://flightgear.org/mirrors.html">http://flightgear.org/mirrors.html</a>.</p>
280 <u>Where can I find the latest development source code?</u>
284 <p>The latest development code is available for everyone through our
286 <a href="http://wiki.flightgear.org/FlightGear_and_Git">http://wiki.flightgear.org/FlightGear_and_Git</a> for details.
288 <p>Otherwise, you can get relatively up-to-date snapshots of the
290 <a href="http://flightgear.simpits.org:8080/">http://flightgear.simpits.org:8080/</a>, which are recompiled at every git commit.
296 <u>What is SimGear, and why do I need it?</u>
300 <p>SimGear is a library of supporting code. SimGear is only needed
301 if you plan on compiling FlightGear -- it is not needed to run
302 precompiled binaries. For more information see
303 <a href="http://www.simgear.org/">http://www.simgear.org/</a>.</p>
308 <u>Where can I fly and where do I get the scenery?</u>
312 <p>While the base package only comes with scenery for the San Francisco
313 Bay area, you can currently fly just about anywhere in the world.
314 See the <i>"Additional Scenery"</i> section of
315 <a href="http://flightgear.org/Downloads/">http://flightgear.org/Downloads/</a>
316 for more information or go directly to our graphical downloader at
317 <a href="http://flightgear.org/Downloads/world-scenery.html">http://flightgear.org/Downloads/world-scenery.html</a>.
319 <p>Also visit our <i>"Places to Fly"</i> section of the website
320 (<a href="http://flightgear.org/Places/">http://flightgear.org/Places/</a>)
321 for some help navigating to some awesome locations.</p>
326 <u>Where can I get different 3D models for my plane?</u>
330 <p>While we are working toward building our own 3D models, we have
331 been given permission by several people to convert their models (which
332 where originally intended for use with <i>Microsoft Flight
333 Simulator</i>) to use with FlightGear.</p>
338 <u>How current is the data in FlightGear compared to the real world?</u>
342 <p>We use the same navaid and airport dataset that <i>X-Plane</i> uses. The
343 current dataset can be found in the <code>$FGROOT/Navaids/</code> and
344 <code>$FGROOT/Airports/</code> directories. If you have updates or
345 corrections to the dataset, see
346 <a href="http://flightgear.org/Docs/AirNav/AptNavFAQ.FlightGear.html">http://flightgear.org/Docs/AirNav/AptNavFAQ.FlightGear.html</a>
347 for instructions on contacting the database maintainer.</p>
352 <u>Where is the moving map?</u>
356 <p>A popular moving map display is avaliable under a separate
357 project called <i>Atlas</i>. See
358 <a href="http://atlas.sf.net/">http://atlas.sf.net/</a>.</p>
362 <a name="2.10">2.10 -
363 <u>Why don't you charge money for this?</u>
367 <p>We could do that, since the initial download is about 25
368 megabytes. Especially for people who have to pay per-minute charges
369 for internet access, buying a CD is a convenient and possibly
370 cheaper option. Although we offer that service (see the website), we
371 encourage other groups to redistribute it for their users, especially
372 within an operating system distribution which makes installation even
373 faster and easier for new users.</p>
384 <u>Why won't FlightGear compile?</u>
388 <p>Well, that depends. First make sure you are using the appropriate
389 versions of FlightGear, SimGear, plib, zlib. If any of
390 the packages are out of sync with the others, compilation may fail.</p>
391 <p>The FlightGear <i>Downloads</i> page
392 (<a href="http://flightgear.org/Downloads/">http://flightgear.org/Downloads/</a>)
393 should tell you what versions you need if you are trying to compile
394 the latest stable release. If you are using a development snapshot,
395 make sure all three packages are up-to-date.</p>
396 <p>Also ensure that you have some implementation of OpenGL with glut
397 support with the appropriate header files. Linux users with nVidia
398 cards should make sure you have the latest drivers from nVidia. Other
399 Linux users make sure you have Mesa3D
400 (<a href="http://mesa3d.org/">http://mesa3d.org/</a>)
401 and your X server installed correctly. Windows users see
402 <a href="http://www.x-plane.com/SYSREQ/v5ibm.html">http://www.x-plane.com/SYSREQ/v5ibm.html</a>,
404 <a href="http://www.x-plane.com/SYSREQ/v5mac.html">http://www.x-plane.com/SYSREQ/v5mac.html</a>.
406 <p>If your problems persist, subscribe to our FlightGear-Users mailing
407 list and let us know what problem you're having. See
408 <a href="http://flightgear.org/mail.html">http://flightgear.org/mail.html</a> for help with this.
414 <u>I'm using RedHat 7, and ...?</u>
418 <p>Update your gcc packages. See
419 <a href="http://redhat.com/errata/">http://redhat.com/errata/</a>
421 <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-2.96.html">http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-2.96.html</a>
422 for an explanation why.</p>
433 <u>How do I install new scenery?</u>
437 <p>The scenery archive files (ie. w100n30.tar.gz) should be untarred
438 into the <code>Scenery/Terrain</code> directory in your
439 <code>$FG_ROOT</code>.</p>
444 <u>How do I setup my joystick(s)?</u>
448 <p>FlightGear should come with a helpful program called <i>`fgjs`</i>
449 that can help configure your joystick. Run <i>`fgjs`</i> and then
450 copy the dot file it created into your home directory or add its
451 contents to your existing rc file.</p>
452 <p>Also, see the README.Joystick file located in the
453 <code>FlightGear/docs-mini/</code> directory of the source
454 distribution. This document is mirrored at
455 <a href="http://rockfish.net/fg/README.Joystick">http://rockfish.net/fg/README.Joystick</a>.
461 <u>What format should my personal .fgfsrc file be in?</u>
465 <p>Your <code>.fgfsrc</code> file should simply be a list of
466 command-line options with one option per line. The file is <b>not</b>
468 <p>If you would rather use an XML configuration file, you can add
469 something like the following in your <code>.fgfsrc</code>
472 <code>--config=/path/to/my/config.xml</code>
474 <p>Almost every option corresponds to a property, so you can choose
475 to use whichever method best suits your needs.</p>
486 <u>Why do I get an error loading libopenal.so.0?</u>
490 <p>With the default installation, libopenal.so.0 is installed into
491 <code>/usr/local/lib</code>. You need to ensure that that path is
492 listed in <code>/etc/ld.so.conf</code>, then run <i>`ldconfig`</i>as
498 <u>Why do I get "ssgInit called without a valid OpenGL context"?</u>
502 <p>In short, your GL libraries are broken. So far only Red Hat 7.x
503 users have experienced this (see
504 <a href="http://www.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18867">http://www.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18867</a>).
505 The only solutions are possibly complicated ones: you can either
506 change distributions (most of us prefer Debian) or upgrade/downgrade
510 <u>Why do some other GL applications work though?</u>
512 Steve Baker (Mr. PLIB) has explained this on the plib-users list
513 (<a href="http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/SourceForge/1867/0/6470648/">http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/SourceForge/1867/0/6470648/</a>).
519 <u>What happened to the panel, keyboard, etc?</u>
523 <p>The problem is almost certainly that your base package is out of
524 sync with FlightGear. Many configurable parts of FlightGear are
525 defined in XML files contained in the base package.</p>
530 <u>Why doesn't audio work properly under Irix?</u>
534 <p>FlightGear (as of June 2001) uses the Portable Libraries (PLIB)
535 for playing audio. The audio queue implementation of PLIB is far from
536 optimal (in fact it's just wrong). This seems to work on other
537 platforms quite well, but Irix expects things to be programmed
539 <p>There has been discussion about using OpenAL
540 (<a href="http://www.openal.org/">http://www.openal.org/</a>)
541 for the next release of both PLIB and FlightGear. Tests show that
542 the OpenAL audio implementation does the job right, meaning that
543 these audio problems should be gone by then. In the mean time it is
544 best to disable audio on Irix completely (by adding --disable-sound
545 either on the command line or to your <code>$HOME/.fgfsrc</code>
551 <u>Why is FlightGear so slow?</u>
555 <p>FlightGear supports hardware acceleration, but it seems not to be
556 activated. Make sure you have OpenGL libraries installed and
557 configured properly and make sure you have the latest drivers for your
560 <b>Linux users</b>: If you are an nVidia user, follow their
561 directions on getting your card working. For most other users, make
562 sure Mesa is installed property and ensure that you have the
563 appropriate kernel device drivers for your card. Most people (and
564 distributions) use modules for their video card device drivers; run
565 <i>`lsmod`</i> as root to see what modules are loaded. You should also
566 make sure that you are loading the appropriate modules in your
567 XF86Config and that your video device section is correct. Now try
568 running an OpenGL application (other than FlightGear) to see how it
569 performs. You can try the <i>gears</i> demo from Mesa or something
570 like <i>Quake3</i>.</p>
575 <u>How do I see the frame rate?</u>
579 <p>There are two ways. One way is to hide the panel without the HUD
580 showing. To hide the panel, use <i>Shift+P</i>; To make the HUD
581 disappear, use <i>H</i>. The second way is to use the alternative
582 HUD by <i>Shift+I</i> (Use <i>I</i> to switch back).</p>
587 <u>Stuck upside down after "crash"?</u>
591 <p>In his infinite wisdom the FlightGear Grand Master decided that
592 planes were to valuable to allow them to be destroyed by novice pilots
593 who seemed to crash a lot. The fact that nobody has bothered to model
594 crashes may have something to do with it too. :-)</p>
595 <p>The result of this as you have noticed is that with a little
596 practice an ingenuity you can trim the ship to fly inverted along the
598 <p>The quick answer is to hit Ctrl+U (with the default key bindings)
599 to warp the plane up 1000ft.</p>
600 <p>For the stubborn people out there: The trick to learn is to roll
601 back to normal (non inverted) do this by nursing the elevator to get
602 to about 500 feet or so and use the ailerons to snap roll 180*.
603 This is all good avionics except for the plane not destroying
604 itself. Remember the controls work in reverse when you are inverted
605 and keep that airspeed up!!!</p>
610 <u>Why does FlightGear die on startup saying "time zone reading failed"?</u>
614 <p>This is probably caused by a line-ending problem in the timezone
615 files. Win32 users can resolve the problem by downloading a DOS to
616 UNIX conversion utility available at
617 <a href="http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~eazdluf/d2u.zip">http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~eazdluf/d2u.zip</a>.
618 Run as `<i>d2u *.tab</i>` from within the timezone directory to fix
619 your timezone files.</p>
630 <u>What language is FlightGear written in?</u>
634 <p>Mostly C++ with some supporting C code that's primary contained
640 <u>How do I design a flight dynamics model for a new aircraft?</u>
644 <p>To define an aircraft for FlightGear's primary FDM (JSBSIM),
645 see <a href="http://jsbsim.sf.net/">http://jsbsim.sf.net/</a>.</p>
646 <p>If you want a simpler FDM to work with, try your hand at YASim,
647 an alternative FDM. For an guide on creating a YASim aircraft,
648 look in the FlightGear base package for
649 <code>Aircraft-yasim/README.yasim</code>.</p>
654 <u>How do I import planes from Microsoft Flight Simulator?</u>
658 <p>You can import the 3D model and textures, but the flight dynamics
659 (the .AIR file) must be completely redone for FlightGear. </p>
660 <p>If you wish to import a model made with gmax, you will need to
661 convert it to .MDL format using <i>Microsoft's MakeMDL SDK</i> which
663 <a href="http://zone.msn.com/flightsim/FS02DevDeskSDK08.asp">http://zone.msn.com/flightsim/FS02DevDeskSDK08.asp</a>.
669 <u>How do I import BGL scenery from Microsoft Flight Simulator?</u>
674 <a href="http://chiangt.virtualave.net/BGL/bgl_index.html">http://chiangt.virtualave.net/BGL/bgl_index.html</a>.
680 <u>How do I design or modify a panel?</u>
684 <p>See the README.xmlpanel file located in the
685 <code>FlightGear/docs-mini/</code> directory of the source
686 distribution. This document is mirrored at
687 <a href="http://rockfish.net/fg/README.xmlpanel">http://rockfish.net/fg/README.xmlpanel</a>.
693 <u>How do I place objects, like buildings, into FlightGear?</u>
697 <p>First, ensure that you have v0.7.7 or later, the scenery files
698 where you plan to place the object, the actual model, and the
699 longitude and latitude where you plan to place the object.</p>
700 <p>Now get the altitude for your point. If you don't want to
701 calculate this yourself, start FlightGear at your location and take
702 note of the altitude. Here's an example command:</p>
704 <code>fgfs --lat=45.50 --lon=-75.73 2>&1 | tee fgfs.log</code>
706 <p>The altitude is probably in feet, so divide the starting altitude
708 <p>Search the output log file for the first occurrence of the string
709 "Loading tile" and take note of the filename. In the above example,
710 the output line looks like:</p>
712 <code>Loading tile /usr/local/Scenery/w080n40/w076n45/1712601</code>
714 <p>Copy a 3D model in a format that Plib understands to the same
715 directory as the tile file. Edit the text file in that directory
716 consisting of the tile name with the extension ".stg". The file will
717 already exist if there is an airport on the tile; otherwise, you can
718 create it from scratch. In our example, the filename is:</p>
720 <code>/usr/local/Scenery/w080n40/w076n45/1712601.stg</code>
722 <p>At the end of the file, add a new entry for your object,
723 consisting of the word "OBJECT_STATIC" followed by the model name,
724 the longitude in degrees, the latitude in degrees, the altitude in
725 meters, and the heading in degrees. In our example the line looks
728 <code>OBJECT_STATIC Towerax.ac -75.73 45.40 60 0</code>
730 <p>Save the changes to the .stg file, restart FlightGear, and
732 <p>NOTE: The above information was taken from the following mailing
734 <a href="http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/11854/2001/6/0/5991409/">http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/11854/2001/6/0/5991409/</a>.
735 See that page if this one doesn't make sense.</p>
736 <p>An alternative approach using PPE is described at
737 <a href="http://mail.flightgear.org/pipermail/flightgear-devel/2001-December/002239.html">http://mail.flightgear.org/pipermail/flightgear-devel/2001-December/002239.html</a>
743 <u>Where can I learn 3D programming and how do I get involved?</u>
747 <p>Contributing to the 2D panel doesn't require any coding at all,
748 just a minimal knowledge of XML syntax (i.e. five minutes' worth)
749 and good skills with drawing and/or paint programs. Every instrument
750 on the current panel, with the partial exception of the magnetic
751 compass, is defined entirely in XML with no custom C++ code. If
752 you want to get started, take a look at John Check's excellent intro
753 (<a href="http://rockfish.net/fg/README.xmlpanel">http://rockfish.net/fg/README.xmlpanel</a>).
755 <p>Likewise, if you want to create a 3D cockpit for FlightGear, or to
756 create buildings, external aircraft models, etc., your help is
757 *desperately* needed. The only rule is to go easy on the triangles
758 -- a model with 50,000 triangles probably won't be usable in
759 FlightGear, and one with 5,000 triangles, only marginally. If you
760 can design a nice 3D cockpit interior for a Cessna 172 (for example)
761 in a 3D design program such as ac3D or ppe, we have coders who will
762 be happy to add the support code in the C++.</p>
763 <p>If, on the other hand, you really want to get your hands dirty
764 with C++ coding, you'll have to buy a good OpenGL book eventually.
765 However, FlightGear uses a high-level library, plib, that hides most
766 of the details of OpenGL. To get started with 3D C++ coding, you
767 can take a look at the plib documentation and learn only as much
768 OpenGL as you need, when you need it.</p>
773 <u>How do I add an airport?</u>
777 <p>You can add your airport to the
778 <code>$FGROOT/Airports/default.apt.gz</code> file, but to get the
779 airport to show up visually, you will have to rebuild the scenery
780 around the airport. The format of the default.apt file is

787 <u>How do I generate my own scenery?</u>
791 <p>Yes, though it can be a difficult task. FlightGear's scenery
792 generation is handled by a sister project, TerraGear. For more

805 <u>Where can I learn about instrument flying and navigation?</u>
810 <a href="http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/">http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/</a>
811 is a very good site for learning techniques for navigation. Also see
812 <a href="http://www.monmouth.com/~jsd/how/">http://www.monmouth.com/~jsd/how/</a>.
818 <u>What is the difference between Aileron and Rudder?</u>
822 <p>There is a bit of info on aileron vs. rudder here:

829 <u>Is there support for multi-player flying?</u>
833 <p>We have an initial stab at this that is incomplete and only seems
834 to work under Linux. We'd love to find someone to pick up the
835 slack here and develop this further. Specifically, plib now has
836 some low level networking support for mult-player games. It would
837 also be nice to develop support for the DIS protocol.</p>
842 <u>Is there support for any military scenarios like dog fighting or bomb dropping?</u>
846 <p>No, not at this time. Most of our developers are primarily
847 interested and focused on civilian aviation. We aren't explicitly
848 excluding these features -- we just haven't had anyone who seriously
849 wanted to develop these areas.</p>
856 FlightGear v0.7.6</a>
860 <u>Why do I get an error in viewer.cxx about `exit' being undeclared?</u>
864 <p>This error cropped up after the release of v0.7.6. To fix the
865 problem, add "<code>#include <stdlib.h></code>" to the top of viewer.cxx.</p>
