10
11 <p>
12         Here you will learn how to mirror (in this case) the <a href="http://www.flightgear.org"
13          target="_blank">FlightGear</a> scenery from my server to your local hard
14         drive. But you can easily adapt this on other rsync servers because the
15         procedure is nearly the same.
16 </p>
17
18 <p>
19         First of all you need <strong>a lot</strong> free hard disk space before you
20         can start. 4 gigs left might be to much but should not hurt. :) So let us start
21         with the sync procedure, shall we?
22 </p>
23
24 <p>
25         Get a console window (unter Linux a terminal box) ready and find a place where
26         you want to have your scenery downloaded to. In my example I asume that you
27         want to create a new directory for your scenery. Then create the sub
28         directories <strong>Airports</strong>, <strong>Terrain</strong> and
29         <strong>Objects</strong> and start the rsync process in both directories.
30 </p>
31
32 <p>
33         To fast for you? Okay! Here are my commands I have entered:
34 </p>
35
36 <p>
37         <pre>cd
38 mkdir fgfs-scenery
39 cd fgfs-scenery
40 mkdir Terrain # The first letter must be capitalized...
41 mkdir Objects # ... and don't miss the <strong>s</strong> here.
42 mkdir Airports # ... and the <strong>s</strong> again!
43 rsync -a rsync://flightgear.mxchange.org/Terrain/ ./Terrain/
44 rsync -a rsync://flightgear.mxchange.org/Objects/ ./Objects/
45 rsync -a rsync://flightgear.mxchange.org/Airports/ ./Airports/
46 cd</pre>
47 </p>
48
49 <p>
50         <strong>Discontinued service:</strong> Due to low disk space on my server I
51         had to discontinue my rsync server. You can still download the whole scenery
52         <a href="pub/fgfs/Scenery/" target="_blank">from my server</a>.
53 </p>
54
55 <p>
56         That should take a long time so you may want to setup a small script
57         containing these commands and while download is running you may want
58         to take out your dog for a walk. :-)
59 </p>
60
61 <p>
62         After this there is only one step left: Use the new path
63         <strong>~/fgfs-scenery/</strong> as the new scenery path for FlightGear.
64         To do so simply call <em>fgfs</em> with the parameter <strong>--fg-scenery=~/fgfs-scenery/</strong>.
65 </p>
66
67 <p>
68         <big><strong>Meet you in FGFS. :)</strong></big>
69 </p>
70
71 <p>
72         PS: My manually mirrored download archive for FlightGear can be found
73         <a href="pub/" target="_blank">here</a>. So take a look around. :)
