I'm new to FlightGear, so I hope y'all will bear with me.
Using:
- Linux/Ubuntu
- FG 2018.3.1
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 (with 3 displays)
I'm having trouble getting FlightGear to output flight data files using the logging functions. I've tried using built-in logging (Debug->Logging->Enable Logging) as well as creating my own .xml file and --config=<file.xml> (if requested, I'll post a copy of my .xml file), but the program refuses to work with either method. When I use the built-in function, the program freezes and I have to force-close it. When I use my .xml file, the program crashes during simulation loading. In either case, I'm not able to perform any flight, so no data file is produced. I believe FGTape is working ok, because that creates a file, but I didn't bother to open it to see if the flight actually recorded correctly; I need a .csv file to manipulate with MATLAB, so I'm not really interested in the FGTape files.
Initially I thought there could be an issue with the permissions on the destination folder, so I gave full access to all users, but still nothing. The program also does not write a file to the default EXPORT folder.
Any suggestions?
