Updating Flightgear to the new version

Postby Karanza » Tue Feb 26, 2013 5:22 am

Hello,
I have already installed flightgear by using the disk which contains the program and the full scenery. I was wondering if I could update flightgear to the latest version?

Does anybody know how to? I would really appreciate your help.

By the way I am using a mac to do this.

Hi Karanza,

The final touches and bug fixes are being made to the next release (Version 2.10).

Your best bet is to wait until the new Mac version is announced, then download it.

Cheers,
Vic

Welcome!

Unfortunately FlightGear does not (yet) have update support. You'll have to reinstall the entire program to get the latest version (you can download it from http://flightgear.org). You can keep the scenery though, as that didn't change much (just a few more objects).

Cheers,

Should I wait for a few days until the new version is stable?

Oooops, my mistake.

I thought it was still being worked on. Thanks for chipping in Gijs.

Cheers,
Vic

The one on FlightGear.org can be considered "stable".

2.10 has been perfectly stable for me, so far. I cannot think of any reason not to upgrade.

Could i like download it and then replace all of the files or should i just reinstall the whole entire program.

Plus does flight gear even check for updates when you are installing it from the disk?
