Decompress the sceneries to a different directory, point environment variable FG_SCENERY to that directory, and try again. Mixing scenery sets is probably asking for trouble. Giles Robertson

Subject: [Flightgear-users] How to install sceneries
I recently build Flightgear 0.9.5 successfully on fedora core 2; but I
have two questions:
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.
