Happy New Year and thank you for the nice present.
I have a short list of issues and suggestions for improvements. I can successfully run fg on one mac whereas the another fails, details below. Cheers, Jari Minor issue: 1) Installation. It would be nice if the installation dmg provided a link to the Applications folder for easy drag-n-drop (as provided by many packages, e.g. firefox and thunderbird). I know this is not the most important thing to fix but gives the user a very nice feel during installation. Major issues: 2) On my iMac FlightGear shows a splash screen but quits all the time. I have tried to relaunch the program with no success. I have tried to launch without Atlas and terrasync with no success, with and without joystick. The log file says: GraphicsWindowCarbon::grabFocusIfPointerInWindow Failed to load file: "Aircraft/c172p/Models/Pedals/pedals.xml" Failed to load file: "Aircraft/c172p/Models/Pedals/pedals.xml" Unknown exception in the main loop. Aborting... My iMac is running the 64-bit version of SnowLeopard, uname -a outputs: Darwin imac.local 10.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.2.0: Tue Nov 3 10:35:19 PST 2009; root:xnu-1486.2.11~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 My MacBook Pro is also running 64-bit SnowLeopard but on that machine FlightGear works! So, what is the difference. Of course, different CPU but still dual cores on both machines. uname -a on MacBook Pro says exactly the same as my iMac: Darwin macbookpro.local 10.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.2.0: Tue Nov 3 10:35:19 PST 2009; root:xnu-1486.2.11~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 The graphics card differs, ATI on my iMac (ATI Radeon HD 4670) and Nvidia on my MacBook Pro (GeForce 8600M GT). (I run my own builds, recompiling all the time with the latest CVS/svn repository versions with success, I am currently rebuilding everything now merging your latest configure.ac patches into my own variants ... and the latest CVS works on my machine.) 2b) I tried to launch fg from the command line according to the readme in the package hoping to get more information than the log file above: ./fgfs.sh --aircraft=p51d --airport=KSFO but there is no splash scrteen and the log file says Cannot find specified aircraft: p51d Config option parsing failed ... I suppose the p51d should be replaced with c172p. Using c172p instead gives the same effect as using the launcher. 3) Fly-by sound is bad (as reported by others during the fall/winter) more on this some other time.
