Problem upgrading to 3.0

Postby boshmi » Fri Feb 21, 2014 11:38 pm

Hi all, I have had a good, long scour of the internet, to see why it was that whenever my flight gear started up, and I clicked start flight, I would spawn in water, and not be able to move. This happened in versions 2.6 to 2.12, and mostly the answer I got was: wait for the next update. So 3.0 is here, and I went to the download page, and since my internet connection is SOOOOOOOOO SLOOOOOOOOW! I wanted to use the Bittorrent link, (because usually, the bittorrent is faster, and more reliable for me, and it was in previous versions) so I click bittorent, and it takes me to a page where I can torrent the 2.12 version. Can someone fix that? Because I would really like to use this simulator, I have found no others like It, and my dream is to fly an Osprey V-22, and I have found I can only do that in THIS flight sim.

I also heard that FlightGear runs perfect on Mavericks, but I use this comp at school, and some of the software we use at school could be damaged, (the tech support guy's words, not mine) by the upgrade, so I'm staying on version10.8.5 for now.

Thanks,
boshmi

(Oh yeah, and sorry I didn't say before, but I run a Macbook Air, Mountain Lion 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5 Version 10.8.5)

Spawning water probably means you don't have the scenery. Where are you trying to spawn?
I would use FSX but I use FlightGear because it's a project with goals.

It happens in any airport I try, with any airplane/helicopter I try. Do you NEED to download the scenery separately? Because I selected download scenery while flying, and it still happens.

Specifically, does it happen with the C172P at KSFO?
