I have installed flightgear in a new, clean linux 17.10 installation from the PPA site.
It comes up with a c172p as some anonymous airport (with the bank indicator 45 degrees left). I tried to change to a different airport with no result.
The program is in /usr/games/bin.
There is a folder at /home/name/.fgfs, with approximately nothing there. folders for Aircraft and Terrasync.
The installation took about an hour to download what it said was scenery, etc. but where did it put it?
There is a fila FlightGear.ini in the FlightGear directory with pretty much all options either blank or "false".
Where would I look for scenery and aircraft?
thank you,
