- what OS (Windows Xp/Vista, Mac etc.) are you running?
- what FlightGear version do you use?
- what graphics card do you have?
- does the problem occur with any aircraft, at any airport?
- where did you download your aircraft/scenery from?
- is there any output printed to the console (black window)?
- copy&paste your commandline (tick the "Show commandline box on the last page of FGRun or the "Others" section on the Mac launcher).

Please report any bugs not specific to an aircraft on the issue tracker.
To run FlightGear on old computers with bad OpenGL support, please take a look at this wiki article.

Hi,

i have just downloaded the last version of vfrflight, but I don't understand how to install or execute it on Mac OS. I've seen a file named "VfrFlight-macos" but I don't know what to do with this. Thanks

If you're referring to this application (http://www.vfrflight.org/en/index.html) I suppose you've downloaded zip archive from here (http://www.vfrflight.org/en/downloads.php). Unzip it (it is an ZIP archive) and there is a startup script for macos (sh shell script). You have to have JAVA installed and run then VfrFlight-macos.sh file. Don't own Mac so this is all I can help (I'm not also the developer of this software - only created addon to FlightGear).

Ok thanks. I have tried to execute the file, but I have a "permission denied" message.... I will try to figure it out with my friend google :D
