Hi there,
I'm new to FlightGear and just installed it on my Dell Inspiron 9100
Notebook with the following hardware:
- Multi processor Pentium 4 CPU 3.40GHz
- ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 AGP Graphics adapter: Memory size 128 MB, DAC
Internal DAC(400MHz), BIOS 113-A10812-106
I'm running Windows XP Professional SP2. FlightGear does not run on my
system so far. I installed from the CD I received yesterday from Curt Olson
and used the default options. In the FlightGear Wizzard I could only choose
either the A-10 or the UFO without creating an immediate crash of fgrun.exe.
In either case, fgfs.exe crashes after clicking "Run" at the end with the
following lines in the command line window:
The very first thing I would try is to head over to the ATI web site and
make sure you have their latest drivers downloaded and installed. If
you are up to date on your video driver and are still having this
problem write back and perhaps we can come up with other ideas? Fred
Bouvier has built an updated windows executable replacement which may
help, but I would definitely look at your video drivers before doing
anything else.
opening file: C:/Program Files/FlightGear/data/Navaids/carrier_nav.dat
C:/Program Files/FlightGear/data/Navaids/TACAN_freq.dat
Unknown exception in the main loop. Aborting...
Possible cause: No error <<
On the splash screen it reaches the point of "generating sky elements".
Windows creates the following error message:
FlightGear: fgfs.exe - Application Error
The exeption Floating-point division by zero.
(0x000008e) occurred in the application at location 0x00659e42. <<
If I click on fgfs.exe directly, The command line appears with the following
lines:
Base package check failed ... Found version [none] at: \Flightgear
Please upgrade to version: 0.9.9
Hit a key to continue... <<
The launcher tells FG where to find all it's files, but when you run the
executable by hand it doesn't know where to look and spits out this
error message.
Regards,
Curt.
