Keith,
Welcome to FlighGear! It's ok. A lot of us are quirky!
The full screen crash seems like some kind of X sever or video card problem.
fgfs --geometry=WxH might work better than full screen or game mode.
Try fgfs --geometry=800x600 or fgfs --geometry=1024x768

fgfs --aircraft=some-installed-aircraft-name will start FlightGear using that
aircraft. fgfs --aircraft=p51d as an example. If you have the P51
installed.
A good place to start is here;

Even more good stuff here;

Best Regards,

virtual, or real flying. I am having no luck in figuring out Flightgear
though, it seems quirky. I try to go full screen and it crashes my desktop
(PCLinuxOS). I can't even figure out how to change aircraft from the default
one.
Am I just missing something here?
Thanks,
Keith
