In my install, I have most of the files and directories (airport, aircraft, etc) in
/usr/local/FlightGear-0.9.8/share/FlightGear
so I thought it is the fg-root; in fact, in this directory, there is also that version file that contains the version number of flightgear,
Oh man, this really sounds like a mess. The normal behaviour is:
main program: /usr/local/bin/fgfs data directory: /usr/local/shared/FlightGear/data
I do not agree with Eriks remark that "this sounds like a mess" : it is a commonly used method to ensure that EVERYTHING that belongs to a certain packet ends up in the same tree without cluttering anything else and can thus be easily removed without having to rely on an UN-install script.
That's why we have a data directory, the tree would like something like this then:
/opt/FlightGear /opt/FlightGear/bin /opt/FlightGear/sbin /opt/FlightGear/data /opt/FlightGear/include
This is nothing like he described above.
