  23
  24 <p>
  25         Here you will learn how to mirror (in this case) the <a href="http://www.flightgear.org"
  26          target="_blank">FlightGear</a> scenery from my server to your local hard
  27         drive. But you can easily adapt this on other rsync servers because the
  28         procedure is nearly the same.
  29 </p>
  30
  31 <p>
  32         First of all you need <strong>a lot</strong> free hard disk space before you
  33         can start. 4 gigs left might be to much but should not hurt. :) So let us start
  34         with the sync procedure, shall we?
  35 </p>
  36
  37 <p>
  38         Get a console window (unter Linux a terminal box) ready and find a place where
  39         you want to have your scenery downloaded to. In my example I asume that you
  40         want to create a new directory for your scenery. Then create the sub
  41         directories <strong>Airports</strong>, <strong>Terrain</strong> and
  42         <strong>Objects</strong> and start the rsync process in both directories.
  43 </p>
  44
  45 <p>
  46         To fast for you? Okay! Here are my commands I have entered:
  47 </p>
  48
  49 <p>
  50         <pre>cd
  51 mkdir fgfs-scenery
  52 cd fgfs-scenery
  53 rsync -a rsync://flightgear.mxchange.org/Scenery/ .
  54 cd</pre>
  55 </p>
  56
  57 <p>
  58         <strong>Back up again and compatible with TerraSync:</strong> The service
  59         is back online again and now also with support for TerraSync. If you
  60         don&#39;t which to download all to your local hard drive, you can use my
  61         server in TerraSync (it will be updated daily) by having latest GIT and
  62         downloading <a href="pub/my-server.diff">this patch</a>.
  63 </p>
  64
  65 <p>
  66         That should take a long time so you may want to setup a small script
  67         containing these commands and while download is running you may want
  68         to take out your dog for a walk. :-)
  69 </p>
  70
  71 <p>
  72         After this there is only one step left: Use the new path
  73         <strong>~/fgfs-scenery/</strong> as the new scenery path for FlightGear.
  74         To do so simply call <em>fgfs</em> with the parameter <strong>--fg-scenery=~/fgfs-scenery/</strong>.
  75 </p>
  76
  77 <p>
  78         <big><strong>Meet you in FGFS. :)</strong></big>
  79 </p>
  80
  81 <p>
  82         PS: My manually mirrored download archive for FlightGear can be found
  83         <a href="pub/" target="_blank">here</a>. So take a look around. :)
