Simulation won't start

Hi,

Sorry if this question has been answered previously(though I couldn't find any similar topics.. ), but, after freshly installing FG on Win10, I cannot get beyond pressing the "Fly!" button - application just exits. If i run FG from cmd, it gets stuck on "Now checking for plug-in osgPlugins-3.4.2/osgdb_nvtt.dll". I do not use the default installation location, rather using folder on another disk. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated..

see that pink box up there? ;)
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

Did you try to reinstall? Sometimes reinstallation often solves many issues.

The good news is your crashes will be reported to the crash-reporting system already (unless you turned it off, of course). I'd check carefully your graphics driver (are there updates available for it?), as well as following the information in the pink box.
