You don't have to. Use --runway= if you want > How do I fix the YASim engine problem?

FGFS is a good route to go down. Try using the Hunter first off - that's probably the easiest to fly, if your hardware is up to it. Otherwise use the default aircraft. But you'll have to get used to the prop effects. Basically you have a working 0.9.8a system, so far as I can see. Ignore the warnings and learn to fly.
