I don't know what you are doing wrong, but Arnt is using a stupid shell script wrapper that apparently does not handle quoted arguments with spaces in them. Thus the --metar="XXXX 012345Z 07315KT 50SM FEW015 SCT025 BKN035 OVC090 15/M01 A3092" gets turned into --metar=XXXX 012345Z 07315KT 50SM FEW015 SCT025 BKN035 OVC090 15/M01 A3092 So only the XXXX is the argument to --metar, the rest are separate options that are considered to be property files to load. All I can say is, use the fgfs binary if you want to troubleshoot flightgear problems and not launcher/wrapper bugs :) -- Csaba/Jester ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
