I'm not sure if this will help at all, but typically (if you have an ATI or nVidia video card and possibly others) you will want to go to the respective graphics chip set manufacturer web site and download the latest drivers from there. Microsoft will give you direct3d, but FlightGear runs on opengl which is something entirely different. FlightGear uses opengl because it is supported on windows, mac, freebsd, linux, sgi, solaris, and just about every other moderatly popular platform.

You just hit the reply button in most mail readers. All that is required as far as I know is a Re: preceding the original subject for the threading to work so you could even add one by hand if you like.

Greetings friends, I am emailing this to enquire about a problem i am having when trying to load FlightGear 0.9.8 Everytime i try to run the flight simulator, i get to the select an aircraft screen and it freezes up and i cant do anything so have to restart the computer. I'm running windows 2000. Is Flight Gear more reliable when run on XP - is it worth me changing my OS to XP? (need to stay on a windows platform). Thank you, Justin ___ Flightgear-users mailing list Flightgear-users@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

I'm running windows 2000. Please provide some more infos about the hardware. There are few people having problems with audio cards. It may be a not very good OpenGL support of the video card too. The fact that fgfs freezes before running any sound (i.e. when choosing the airplane to fly with) lets me think it's something related to the video section. Anyway, search for other posts relating audio cards, I guess that's the main hardware issue right now :-( I don't think it's a Win2k problem anyway.

Thank you Roberto and Arnt for the responses to my initial query. My system specifications: Windows 2000 Professional AMD Athlon XP2000+ (1.67GHz) 384MB PC133mhz SDRAM 2x HD, 1x 10GB, 1x 80GB 64MB SiS AG315P-64 Graphics Card Creative Sound Blaster Live Sound Card Following Roberto's comments, I have just downloaded and installed the latest drivers and it does run now, for a bit, before crashing and locking up my system, i will look into my sound card shortly to see if that will remedy the crashing problem. Arnt, is it possible to install GNU/Linux along side Windows2000? I have plenty of HD space so as long as i am able to install it along side win2k i will do that, otherwise i cant afford to loose windows 2000 (have no idea to configure a linux machine onto the university network that im on, and compatibility with various software i need to use).

Yes, that is possible. Most modern distributions do this quite comfortably and automagically nowadays. I predict that once you installed linux and started to use it a little bit, you will soon use it more and more, and after some time you will have problems remembering why you kept windows anyways. But that can take some time... however: Before installing Linux for the explicit purpose of running Flightgear, you should check the direct rendering is supported for your graphics card. Everything except nvidia's, ati's, recently via's unichrome too, can be a problem. I don't say it has to be. Just check before you start messing with your harddrive. Without direct rendering (e.g. with 2d only graphic drivers, flightgear will not be usable. On the other hand, you might want to try Linux anyways. Even if you don't use it for Flightgear for now. It is IMO the better operating system for most things u usually do on your pc. If you get in trouble with your graphic card's 3d driver, get a cheapo used earlier radeon or gforce, and you'll be alright. If you need help setting up Linux on dual boot along with windows, many people here will be glad to assist.

Hi, Does any body know about status of FGFS Live CD? This could be a good option for people that likes to use FGFS, but want to stay running Windows on their machines.

RE: [Flightgear-users] (no subject)
I would strongly advise that you do not untar your scenery files into a directory already containing scenery. Untar them into a different directory, and then add these to your FG_SCENERY. If you use fgrun (the GUI frontend for FlightGear), then hit prev until it will go back no further, and add the directory using the add button above the box labelled FG_SCENERY.
