That's why you install *all* of them! And fgfs doesn't really crash. It
just throws an exception that is only caught in bootstrap.cxx and causes
a 'regular' abort(). That's called error handling! :-)
Some other idea? Will FGFS check/discard/revert_to_default network

Yes, you are missing the base package. Keys are now only repeatable
if repeatable is actually set for this key in $FG_ROOT/keyboard.xml.
There was a bug before that did always enable autorepeat.
How should I set this property for a key? Something like what follows?

I've been managing with some 3d objects to put into fgfs sceneries and

I'm using .3ds files (with .bmp maps) which don't have such limitation.
Is there a reason for that? Is there a way to avoid that limitation?
