Hi Rob, I can get a 256MB nVidia (5600 i think) for nothing from a
relative...the problem is I run FG on my partners PC and she has vetoed the
video upgrade. :-(
Will try renaming the textures.high though... have tried that under Windows
to try and get 099 & 09.10 working but wasn't sure what the FGLive
architecture is, I know it creates a RAMdisk and from your comments would
assume that FGROOT (and sub-directories) reside on this RAM disk.
Thanks for the comments
:-D ene

Hi Dene,
You should consider upgrading your video card to at least a 128MB Geforce
6200 (AGP). They cost around $45 USD or ($95 NZD). It is a DirectX 9c
part, and is OpenGL 2.0 compatible, and uses Pixel Shader Model 3.0. This
is currently the bare minimum most modern 3D games (ie, Doom3, Battlefield
2, FEAR) will require, and is more than enough for flightgear. An as a tip
try and avoid buying anything older than geforce 6x00. As the technology on
cards prior to the 6 series is quite outdated.
In the mean time, if you want to use the low res textures, you will have to
rename the textures.hires directory to something else. I think Pigeon has
the fgroot directory installed somewhere in the /opts directory. However,
you can always find where the flightgear textures directory is located
by running the update database command from a terminal:
updatedb
and then the locate command to find what a file or directory you are
looking
for:
locate textures
this will generate a listing of the where the textures are located. When
you
want to rename a folder (from the command line) type mv /the_directory_name
to_the_new_directory_name
