Jim,
That information you want is in the README.txt file that is a
part of the FlightGear0.9.6 folder:
Obviously the readme doesn't have all the information I need to
make FlightGear work.
I will make whatever changes are needed to provide clear
instructions.
In order to use FlightGear under MacOS X 10.3, you must create a
FlightGear resource file in your home directory. A sample
resource (FlightGear_Resource) file is provided. Replace the
string $HOME with your home directory.
Do I need to create a resource file or do I use the sample resource
file? Is that what the instructions below do?
How do I Replace the string $HOME with your home directory. Is
that the below instructions?
That line means what it says. In the example FlightGear_Resource
file, the first line says:
--fg-root=$HOME/FlightGear0.9.6/data
If you have put the FlightGear0.9.6 folder in your home directory,
then the string $HOME becomes whatever the path to your home
directory might be. In my case, that line would change to become
--fg-root=/Users/jwpolley/FlightGear0.9.6/data
OK, I figured this out and made the changes to the path. How specific
does the path have to be? Do I need to identify exactly which folder
FlightGear is in? After changing the string I still get the same
error message when I double click on fgfs. I ran the 'ln -s' command
again and it reports that the file exists.
I must be doing something wrong still.
This line tells FlightGear where it can find the data directory.
From your home directory, type
ln -s FlightGear0.9.6/FlightGear_Resource .fgfsrc
The 'ln -s' command makes a symbolic link, called .fgfsrc, that
points to the flightGear_Resource file. This is needed because
FlightGear expects to find a file, called .fgfsrc, in your home
directory. Making the symbolic link allows you to conveniently edit
the resource file (using something like TextEdit).

Re: [Flightgear-users] FlightGear on mac 10.3.6?
First of all, a big thank you for providing a precompiled version for those of us who don't feel confident enough to try the compiling process for themselves (like me...). It's very much appreciated! :-) I've got a problem, though -- when I double-click the fgfs app I get this: [My-Computer:~/FlightGear0.9.6] Me% /Users/Me/FlightGear0.9.6/fgfs; exit Using Mac OS X hack for initializing C++ stdio... Base package check failed ... Found version [none] at: Users/Me/FlightGear0.9.6/data Please upgrade to version: 0.9.6 logout [Process completed] I've installed OpenAL, did everything in the read me file and I'm reasonably sure the base package is right where it should be. I've used FG 0.9.4 previously and it ran without problems. Any idea what's going wrong?

Do you have the .fgfsrc file set up correctly? It has to be in your home
directory (in my case, it us /Users/jwpolley). The reason that I have you set
up a symbolic link is because MacOS will hide any file that begins with a dot
(.) in the Finder. Also, make sure that you have modified the
FlightGear_Resource file to point to the 'data' directory in your
FlightGear0.9.6 folder.

That information you want is in the README.txt file that is a part of the
FlightGear0.9.6 folder:
In order to use FlightGear under MacOS X 10.3, you must create a FlightGear
resource file in your home directory. A sample resource (FlightGear_Resource)
file is provided. Replace the string $HOME with your home directory. From

This line tells FlightGear where it can find the data directory.
From your home directory, type
ln -s FlightGear0.9.6/FlightGear_Resource .fgfsrc
The 'ln -s' command makes a symbolic link, called .fgfsrc, that points
to the flightGear_Resource file. This is needed because FlightGear
expects to find a file, called .fgfsrc, in your home directory. Making
the symbolic link allows you to conveniently edit the resource file
(using something like TextEdit).

FlightGear is in? After changing the string I still get the same error
message when I double click on fgfs. I ran the 'ln -s' command again
and it reports that the file exists.
I must be doing something wrong still.
This line tells FlightGear where it can find the data directory.
From your home directory, type
ln -s FlightGear0.9.6/FlightGear_Resource .fgfsrc
The 'ln -s' command makes a symbolic link, called .fgfsrc, that points

[Flightgear-users] FlightGear on mac 10.3.6?
Hi, I have read the readme and installed OpenAL. The terminal commands are confusing and I can't get FlightGear to work. I have downloaded FlightGear 0.9.5 from Jonathan Polley but still don't understand what I need to do to make this work.

Re: [Flightgear-users] FlightGear on mac 10.3.6?
To start things off, use the UFO flight dynamics model (command line argument --fdm=ufo). That will make sure that you have everything going. In the UFO FDM, the cursor keys are control pitch and roll. Page Up/Page Down is the throttle. Jonathan Polley p.s., I can upload a current version of 0.9.6, if you are interested.

0.9.6 would be nice :) How do use the UFO flight dynamics model? Where are the command line arguments? When I try to run FlightGear as per the readme's I get confused and FlightGear doesn't work. Why does it have to be so complicated? Sounds like I need to be a programmer to use FlightGear.
