Hi Ron, I've fiddled around, and whilst your way crashed the same way, it gave me some inspiration! and I have managed to make it work by moving to the FlightGear directory, and then using:
./bin/fgfs.exe --fg-root=./data Thanks for the help, much appreciated!

Its looking in './' the current directory. On my cygwin install the C: drive is located in /cygdrive and is called c, not c: Try launching it with something like: fgfs.exe --fg-root=/cygwin/c/Program\ Files/FlightGear/data --aircraft=T38 Also, have you launching it with just "fgfs"? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
