Hi Keith, I strongly encourage you not to give up. What version of FlightGear are you using? Knowing this will help us advise you which versions of Atlas and fgrun to seek and install. fgrun is a FlightGear wizard (launch control) program. If you are not running either FlightGear version 1.0 or the cvs version, I would recommend that you get FlightGear-1.0 installed as there are well supported versions of Atlas and fgrun compatible with it. I would also recommend that you focus first on getting FlightGear-1.0 and fgrun-1.0.0 installed and put off worrying about moving maps until then. fgrun gives a friendly gui with intuitive options that cover most of the command line options. fgrun also makes the interface with Atlas a single check box and getting mlutiplayer working should be much easier from fgrun. As you have already seen, there are many people supporting FlightGear that are willing to help you get things installed and running. The amount of documentation available for FlightGear can be overwhelming at first. We can point you to specific documntation for specific issues if we know exactly where you are stuck. Keep trying and keep letting us know what help you need to succeed. Regards, Dave Perry keithclark wrote: > I've gone to the mpmap site and cannot make heads or tails of the documentation.
