FGFS --launcher does not start FGFS..?

Postby ScottBouch » Thu Jan 25, 2018 1:16 pm

Hi all,

I last used FGFS a cople of weeks ago, it worked well, a MP event with FGUK. Since then I've been working away from home.

I've returned, and today had a go with FGFS, to find now the Launcher behaves as per normal, but when I hit "FLY" the launcher disappears, and FGFS does not run. I've not twaeked FGFS at all since it last worked.

OS:
Linux Manjaro 17.1 Hakoila
XFCE 4.12 desktop environment

I can start FGFS manually using a Terminal...

Any ideas?

Cheers, Scott

Check if an MP server is selected if MP is turned on. If it is left blank the launcher will close uppon clicking fly, but FG will not start.
