  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 mkdir Terrain # The first letter must be capitalized...
  54 mkdir Objects # ... and don't miss the <strong>s</strong> here.
  55 mkdir Airports # ... and the <strong>s</strong> again!
  56 rsync -a rsync://flightgear.mxchange.org/Terrain/ ./Terrain/
  57 rsync -a rsync://flightgear.mxchange.org/Objects/ ./Objects/
  58 rsync -a rsync://flightgear.mxchange.org/Airports/ ./Airports/
  59 cd</pre>
  60 </p>
  61
  62 <p>
  63         <strong>Discontinued service:</strong> Due to low disk space on my server I
  64         had to discontinue my rsync server. You can still download the whole scenery
  65         <a href="pub/fgfs/Scenery/" target="_blank">from my server</a>.
  66 </p>
  67
  68 <p>
  69         That should take a long time so you may want to setup a small script
  70         containing these commands and while download is running you may want
  71         to take out your dog for a walk. :-)
  72 </p>
  73
  74 <p>
  75         After this there is only one step left: Use the new path
  76         <strong>~/fgfs-scenery/</strong> as the new scenery path for FlightGear.
  77         To do so simply call <em>fgfs</em> with the parameter <strong>--fg-scenery=~/fgfs-scenery/</strong>.
  78 </p>
  79
  80 <p>
  81         <big><strong>Meet you in FGFS. :)</strong></big>
  82 </p>
  83
  84 <p>
  85         PS: My manually mirrored download archive for FlightGear can be found
  86         <a href="pub/" target="_blank">here</a>. So take a look around. :)
