Flightgear is not starting

Postby isabusl » Fri May 28, 2010 3:42 pm

Hello,
I have a problem while starting FlightGear in Windows.
I have on the same computer also Ubuntu 10.04.
The graphics card is: Ati Radeon HD 3200. However, in
Ubuntu there are no problems.
Here you can see a Screen-shot:

The version of FlightGear is 2.0 and the operating system Windows XP.
Does somebody know how I can repair this problem?
Excuse me, I do not speak English so well. On the Screenshot you can see that I use the German version of FlightGear.

Could you tell us what the console says after it crashes?

You've got to be kidding me! There has to be something in the log. Your log isn't set to dev/null is it?

Hey,

Thats not the right way to start FGFS from the commandline. Please try this :
Code: Select all
fgfs.exe --fg-root=C:\Progra~1\FlightGear\data\ --aircraft=ufo


Hope that helps!

I have tried FlightGear now in Windows 7 64bit. There I had no problems. I just install FlightGear new, becouse I have uninstalled it in XP. :arrow: I will test then if it works.

Did you install FLightGear in the C:/Documents and Settings/isaak/ directory? Right now your computer is trying to launch the C:/Documents and Settings/isaak/fgfs.exe file, which does not exist. Run this instead:
Code: Select all
C:/Progra~1/FlightGear/bin/win32/fgfs.exe --fg-root=C:/Progra~1/FlightGear/data/ --aircraft=ufo

But, to come back on the original problem. Your problem with the Wizard is most likely that you did not set the correct paths. When you're on the aircraft-selection page, click Previous/Zuruck. That will bring you to the paths page.

Executable should be C:/Program Files/FlightGear/bin/win32/fgfs.exe
FG_ROOT should be C:/Program Files/FlightGear/data/

First, when I start the program so as you said, it starts, but I get the same error what I had before.

Secondly, I've checked that the folders were correct. They are all correct:

:idea: :arrow: Could it be that there is a problem in the fgfs.exe?

Thanks for the help. :)
