found it. Im going to get a verbal beating for this, but..... My .fgfsrc file, for some reason, had for the scenery line: ============== . . --fg-scenery=/home/lvanek/FlightGear-0.9/data/WorldScener --aircraft=pa24-250 . . ============== Note the missing "y" at the end of line. Apparently I had accidently deleted it when adding the "--aircraft=" line. ALL IS WELL. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
