Hi everybody, short introduction:
I am currently living in Switzerland and support a local school in everything regarding IT. The school has now a Linux-Network and the kids have a customized version of Knoppix for home usage. On this CD I included the closed source NVIDIA-drivers for optimal 3D performance and they work very good. I already added some 3D games and now I like to add FlightGear as well. But the thing is that I am very new to FlightGear and have some questions I could not answer by reading the documentation. On the CD I like to provide some shortcut menus for different scenarios. One would be paragliding from the local mountains down to school :-) I could not get the scenario to start from chosen coordinates. I downloaded and installed the local area (e000n40.tar.gz) and started FlightGear, e.g. like this: $ fgfs --lat=47 --lon=7.5 After the progrum run I discovered by browsing the internal properties that the longitude and the latitude where correct but the altitude was at -9999 feet so I started FlightGear like this: $ fgfs --lat=47 --lon=7.5 --altitude=4000 But this didnt change a thing. So I looked a bit closer at the starting messages and found some interesting output: ---------- Processing command line arguments parse_time() = 47 parse_time() = 47 parse_time() = 7.5 parse_time() = 7.5 Finished command line arguments ---------- Why are the parameter parsed as time values? So the question I have is: How do I get FlightGear to start at a chosen longitude/latitude/altitude in external view and mouse stearing (cross hair pointer) activated?
