1) how to install the additional sceneries; I did it following the guidelines of the getstart manual; I installed the William Riley set (lighter than the Olson set), decompressing it in the scenery directory; I installed the neighboring scenes of the default one, but when I fly to the border of the default scene, I see only water, as if the addtionnal scenes had not been added.
Did I miss something ? and what; in the "command line parameters" chapter, I have read that I might need the terrain data for the corresponding sceneries, as explained below:
"--airport-id=ABCD: If you want to start directly at an airport, enter its international code, i.e. KJFK for JFK airport in New York etc. A long/short list of the IDs of the airports being implemented can be found in /Flight Gear/Airports. You only have to unpack one of the files with gunzip. Keep in mind, you need the terrain data for the relevant region, though!"
But since this manual was for Flightgear 0.8, I don't know if it is still valid, and I don't know where to find those terrain files.
2) the second question concerns the moving map Atlas: when I installed it, and run it, it said three files were missing:
default.apt.gz
default.nav.gz
default.fix.gz.
I looked in the data directory and found
basic.dat.gz
metar.dat.gz
runways.dat.gz
in the Airport directory, and
awy.dat.gz
fix.dat.gz
nav.dat.gz
inthe Navaids directory.
I tried to have part of the old files by copying the basic.dat.gz to default.apt.gz, nav.dat.gz to default.nav.gz and fix.dat.gz to default.fix.gz, in their respective directories (I probably might have linked these files as well).
Now Atlas works, and I see some navaids and airports; I see also what looks like airways; but I can imagine that the data in runways.dat.gz and awy.dat.gz are normally not available to Atlas (I don't know if what I see as airways are really that). So my question is:
Is there another mean of to make Atlas run, without missing the data of runways and awy, if they have any meaning for Atlas ? Is it possible for example to use the old files of a previous version of Flightgear (did the dat between, for example version 0.9.2 and 0.9.5 have changed a lot ? Or is there another method ?
Thanks for your help.
