Hi all,
Newbie here. Well, actually I'm not new to flight sim, but the last
time I flew one in was MSFS ver. (1?) on a 4.77MHz IBM XT... Yes you
read correctly; 4 point 77 megahertz, DOS 2.x machine.
Bitchin...
Anyway now that I'm de-microsofting my hardware (upgraded to an AMD
Athalon in the Gigahertz range - WooHoo!), and running SuSE 9.2 I was
looking for something and found that FGFS came with SuSE. I've download
the latest version and having been having a ball with it, but I've run
into some problems. Specifically scenery related. I've downloaded
scenery for Indianapolis and was trying to fly out of Indianapolis Int'l
(KIND), but when FG loads it put's me in the middle of what looks like,
an ocean. I checked the apt.dat.gz file and KIND is indeed listed, so
why does it put me in the middle of nowhere?
BTW: Regarding the apt.dat file; FAQ's and other docs list the format
differently than what is in it. By that I mean, R, A and other record
identifiers listed in the docs are not present in the current file. Did
the format change and the docs not catch up with it?
Do I have to rebuild the downloaded scenery file to make it mesh with
the apt.dat file? If so, how do you do that? The docs are somewhat
vague in that area.
I have the latest FG 0.9.8, TerraGear, PLIB, and most all other required
packages.
Thanks
JB
