Hi, I am trying to synchronize the views on two computers that run flightgear, and I am using the official windows binary of 0.9.9. I used this on master: fgfs --fg-root=C:/Program Files/FlightGear/data --native=socket,out,30,192.168.1.125,5500,udp and this on slave: fgfs --fg-root=C:/Program

Hi there, If flightgear lacks something some other sims don't it is a wide selection of newly developed a/c models/liveries and custom-made sceneries. My attempts to compile fgsd, taxidraw, and ppe have been disastrous, with dependencies between all these somehow not gelling together to give me

I know it's normal on single-prop aircraft, but this is happening in the A-10, T-38, etc. Check that your joystick is aligned properly. Torque and P-factor, etc. will roll/yaw to the left - not the right. It sounds like your joystick is messed up. I don't see these. Jon
