Inside the Scenery directory, do you see a top-level subdirectory for each scenery chunk you downloaded, i.e. w080n40 w090n40 and so on? If so, just pick an ICAO airport ID and go for it. For example, if you downloaded w080n40, you can start at New York La Guardia fgfs --airport-id=KLGA or Boston Logan fgfs --airport-id=KBOS or Toronto Pearson fgfs --airport-id=CYYZ or Rochester fgfs --airport-id=KROC or many others. > Also, where would be a good place to learn aobut how the radio > locator stuff works and the like. > Any help and pointers would sure be appreciated. Learn to fly first -- flight simmers always worry too much about radio nav and not enough about controlling the plane. The (slightly unidiomatic) rule for pilots is Aviate Navigate Communicate i.e. always fly the plane first, then worry about navigation and radio communication. Once you can hold an altitude and heading for a few minutes easily, land predictable, etc., then take a look at this radio-navigation tutorial, which should work for FlightGear as well as it does for MSFS: http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/ All the best, David -- David Megginson, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.megginson.com/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users
