I'm trying to install custom scenery (objects only) on FG 2.8 for Mac, but I'm having a problem specifying the pathways.
According to what I've read on the forums and in the wiki, I should be able to have separate directories for custom scenery and world scenery (i.e., scenery I downloaded from the FlightGear homepage), plus the scenery FG downloads from TerraSync, which I can configure by a command line in the launcher so that FG runs the custom scenery first, then the world scenery, and then the TerraSync. However, if I enter
--fg-scenery=Applications/FlightGear/FG2.8.0/CustomScenery;Applications/FlightGear/FG2.8.0/FlightGear.app/Contents/Resources/data/Scenery
(the path for custom scenery, followed by the path for world scenery), FG goes directly to the world scenery in data/scenery. In fact, even if I enter only
--fg-scenery=Applications/FlightGear/FG2.8.0/CustomScenery
it still goes straight to the world scenery, without using any of the custom scenery. What I am doing wrong?
(Terrasync is a whole different problem, and I'm not even trying to use it in FG 2.8, so I'm not including it in my parameters. But I imagine it's a similar problem.)
I know the custom scenery works because it shows up if I go into the world scenery object folder .stg file, manually add the OBJECT_STATIC info, and put the .ac and texture files in the same folder. But I'm trying to avoid going into the world scenery .stg files and start editing, because TerraSync will try to overwrite the files--or so I understand from the forums.
