I've put a page up on the wiki: http://www.seedwiki.com/wiki/flight_gear/installing_scenery.html?wpid=16 8815 But could people check that that's correct? Giles, A couple things. For windows users, I think this is the wrong direction to approach this subject. See my other post from a couple minutes ago for how I'd explain the process to a windows user (not that I'm claiming my explanation will be understood any better, just saying that's how I'd approach it.) To nitpick, FG_SCENERY can be a path so you can list several directories. So I think that since most of these questions are coming from windows users, I start with a specific explanation targeted towards them, emphasizing the default process of installing scenery, not the underlying theory of how FG leverages environment variables and paths and things like that. Regards, Curt. Yep.. I'm agreeing with Curt on this.. Give the newbie a quick start with the exact instructions for a standard install and then the explanation of what is going on. Some user coming from a windows background don't like to read too much. to put it one way: How many of you read the manual before install Microsoft office? It would be nice to have a wizard to fetch and install extra scenery and aircraft, perhaps running off fgrun or entirely separate program.

Re: [Flightgear-users] Slow frame rate on Dell 2GB RAM, 3.06 GHz, Windows OS

I could run faster than the Cessna flies, looks like frame rate is about 1 per second. I plan to give a cdrom w/ the binary to a friend that want to fly FG. I've been having fun flying with great performance with CVS versions on my Linux box (FC2). The Windows machine has an NVIDA QUADRO FX 1000 video card. One of the guys in our lab thought that the machine (by default) might not be allocating all RAM for the FG run. Micheal, Sounds like a driver problem. :-) Have you installed the nvidia drivers or are you using the generic drivers from microsoft??

[Flightgear-users] Aeroplane Request: Cessna Citation X
I was reading a copy of Computer Pilot (or was it PC Pilot??) which had a review of a Cessna Citation X addon for FS2004. The slightly bulbous fuselage of the plane would make it a nice addition to Flightgear.
