Ummm … you caught me on the wrong foot there … (it's a german saying - jemanden auf dem falschen Fuß erwischen - no idea if it's the correct English translation). I will tell you tomorrow if I will have it ready.

It does not have to be for this Wednesday but is it something Christmas related?

Umm … apart from that you'll be frozen afterwards, no ! Let's better postpone it another week. So, any ideas welcome …

Bravo again?
LOWI fly in, fly out?
ATC practise?

I did further research for the France trip. As the landing field is in the middle of nowhere, it only works with reconnaissance flights as preparation.

Where can I find the base data files, so I can run 2020.4.0?

You mean fgdata? I use download_and_compile.sh DATA script for that. Without additional options it defaults to 'next'.
I never downloaded DATA component only, but I think this should work:
Code: Select all
$ ./path/to/download_and_compile.sh -an -pn -cn -dy DATA

Moreover, the Flightgear version needs the matching data version. You shouldn't mix them.

Thanks guys. Yes, the appimage dialog even prevents mixing.

Seems I have to dive into compiling. Always something to learn with FGFS.

Wait a minute - I also have the 2020.4.0, and I didn't have to compile anything. I just can't find the corresponding FGDATA anywhere … If I really can't find it, how about I zip up mine and send it to you ?

Thanks, mate!
I'll go through compiling first, so you don't have to put effort into it.

Appimage is in general a good idea, but FGDATA is missing. Anyway, I'll try later.

I've just asked in the Support/Installation forum, so if you wait half an hour, you should have the link ! :wink: With the latest source code I'm having some issues, like propellers that make the aircraft half transparent, and a lower frame rate as with 2020.4.0, so I don't recommend that for anything besides testing of the new features…

Thanks, mate!

Currently solved by compiling to 2020.3.11, But as the question for FGDATA4.0 is of general interest, the post should remain open.

OSM seems to be implemented only up to a certain street size. Maybe the planned challenge is a bit too challenging...

Good planning for duration Eagle, with the stops either will work out nicely, any votes?
