Glad you're up and running, Don.

Here's an earlier reply from me that got rejected as spam for some reason.  
(maybe spam assassin is smarter than I thought!)  :-D

In theory, maybe.... :-) 
 
FWIW, my first try at 9.10 required me to have an "autosave.xml" file.  Else, 
FGFS would immediately abort.  That may be fixed now.  If not, try creating an 
autosave.xml file manually, put in one line "<?xml version="1.0"?>, and save 
the 
file to the appropriate place (maybe an empty file would work, too?).  Also, 
check any pre-exsiting fgrun.prefs file while you're there to make sure all the 
paths are correct (this is for the FGRUN wizard, if you ever use that).  
Finally, I  commented out the <presets> section in the preferences.xml, because 
I was getting aborts due to not having loaded scenery matching what was in 
<presets>.  (I'm sure I could have also changed the values there, also). 
 
There may have been a fiew other tricks, too, to get started.  Once you get 
through them all, you're all set.

ADDENDUM:  I tested today without an autosave.xml file, and no abort....just a 
warning.
