path/to/your/myflightgear/Scenery/Objects maybe something like this.Ĭode: Select all /path/to/your/myflightgear for your own private directory of scenery, you basically recreate the tree in your own directory location. generally a scenery pack should come with its own Objects and Terrain directories and their contents. inside each of them reside the 1x1 "tiles" which are what we see in the sim. Objects and Terrain contain similar directory trees within them. The entire world and associated data files shipped via Terrasync contains 40258 directories. Have only small internal SSD so on my external USB where I keep all my multimedia, I created this folder structure: Will2 wrote in Mon 12:15 pm:You said I can run FG with scenery stored on external USB drive.
#Flightgear world scenery pack download download
Having downloaded FGinstall, Aircraft, Scenery files, do the Scenery files include all the 'Airport' data, or do I need to download Airports separately ? Can I define a setup to automatically run FG using default Aircraft-Scenery already on C: when USB drive unavailable, and also able to use Aircraft-Scenery on USB drive by Adding multiple filepaths, presumably 1 being to existing default location in Program Files (or is default path always searched ?) followed by Adding individual filepath lines, 1 for each chunk folder ? 'FGRun shows 3 filepath specs: FG_ROOT, FG_AIRCRAFT, FG_SCENERY, but with no values definedĪs I installed to default Program Files, can I leave FG_ROOT undefined ?. on_Windows about pathpath: FGRun located in C:\Program Files\Flightgear\bin. Is FG ok having Aircraft & Scenery files many subfolders deep, and is it ok for each unzipped 'chunk' to be in its own subfolder (so the component files of each chunk separated from other chunks), or are all unzipped 'chunks' required to be in 1 big subfolder ? Unzipped each chunk into a subfolder of same name. ZIPs in \Aircraft, and a number of chunk zips in \Terrain. Have only small internal SSD so on my external USB where I keep all my multimedia, I created this folder structure:įlightgear\Aircraft\ & Flightgear\Terrain\ I placed a number of Aircraft. You said I can run FG with scenery stored on external USB drive. Not yet had time to try flying, just want to get it fully configured with wanted Aircraft-Scenery.
#Flightgear world scenery pack download install
when you get home, either use the drive directly or copy the scenery from it to your main system's hard drive.Īfter a install hiccup due to my Win 7 Pro 64bit SP1 not having a MS 'Universal Windows CRT' installed, I got it to start.

My internal SSD is quite small, and I want to use around 5 chunks will2 Posts: 3 Joined: Fri 12:13 pm Good to know Flightgear can use Scenery files stored on USB connected HDD. It is just that I am desperately short on time next few weeks and just wanted to acquire all necessary big files now while I have access to a fast public library computer. Sorry if it is a silly question, but do I need to install the Flightgear main program just to view the Scenery chunk ? Not very convenient as my machine only has USB, no CD/DVD slot, and I didnt want to carry around a separate DVD drive, as it would only be needed for MS protection ! Reason I stopped using the MS Sim was I travel a lot and even though fully installed, it would not work unless I inserted a 'master' CD. Are they a separate download in Flightgear ? If I remember correctly, Scenery & Objects (buildings) were combined into same file. Last time I used a flightsim was the MS owned ' Century of Flight' over 10 years ago.

I briefly tried the link from home and see V2.0.1 is easy, but even a 10x10 degree chunk at 895MB too big for my 3G, so will dl on next library visit.
