Big Black Box

All general support: help on flying, installation, hardware, getting online etc. There are lots of users and developers to help you out.
Forum rules
In order to help you, we need to know a lot of information. Make sure to include answers to at least the following questions in your initial post.

- what OS (Windows Xp/Vista, Mac etc.) are you running?
- what FlightGear version do you use?
- what graphics card do you have?
- does the problem occur with any aircraft, at any airport?
- where did you download your aircraft/scenery from?
- is there any output printed to the console (black window)?
- copy&paste your commandline (tick the "Show commandline box on the last page of FGRun or the "Others" section on the Mac launcher).

Please report any bugs not specific to an aircraft on the issue tracker.
To run FlightGear on old computers with bad OpenGL support, please take a look at this wiki article.

Note: If you did not get a reponse, even after 7 days, you may want to check out the FlightGear mailing lists to ask your question there.

ive tried the advance section tab and properties with the code applied
prop:/sim/rendering/camera-group/znear=0.1prop:/sim/rendering/camera-group/znear=0.1

but when you want to run the program
it will not start thats the problem unless im doing something wrong here

Eurikaa figured it out :mrgreen: :idea:

sim/rendering/camera-group/znear=0.1prop:/sim/rendering/camera-group/znear=0.1 not prop: :o
quite confusing

thanks guys for your help
can wait for an official hotfix and service pack for the other minor issues to make FG bug free

this will do great for now

thanks again............

So I learned moments ago when Jester said the same thing. Works perfectly fine either way as far as I can tell.

Not as inlogical as you might think. You added a property (of which FlightGear knows it's a property, as you used the property thing in the launcher), so the prop: thing is not needed, while the commandline doesn't know if you add a property or what, so then you need to have the prop: thing ;)
Airports: EHAM, EHLE, KSFO

You can always check by looking at the command line in the Wizard
