That log file shows the simulator ran for 90 seconds, appearing to work normally. Unfortunately there's nothing in the log about why it closed, but everything was looking fine, and it was pretty far along. So it's not something fundamental like your installation being messed up or missing libraries. My guess would either back system resources (running out memory) or a GPU driver issue, but those are wild guesses indeed.

Downloaded and launched version:
FlightGear-latest-x86_64.AppImage 2021-02-02 22:42
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Eqbx8o ... sp=sharing


Maybe I can try using flightgear-latest-nightly.tar.bz2 instead AppImage?

Closes immediately after loading and showing the plane.

Installed for the test from here:
http://download.flightgear.org/builds/2020.3/
FlightGear-2020.3.6-data.tar.bz2
FlightGear-2020.3.6-x86_64.AppImage
Works fine

But I would like to get a night build to use Photoscenery: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Photoscenery

Photoscenery is only available in the development builds, so if you're brave you could build from source and see where it crashes, that would help to fix it. Unfortunately with an AppImage it's harder to do that. Of course, building from source is not totally trivial but if you want to live life on the edge, nothing is trivial :)

it will be very difficult for me)
If I create a separate topic with my own problem, won't that change the situation?

no, it won't... it would also be better to have your own topic for this to keep it separated from the original...

if you are running on debian or an ubuntu based system, the download_and_compile.sh script (aka dnc) will handle everything for you as long as you have the necessary build environment packages installed... IIRC, dnc will handle that, too, if you allow it to install the needed packages...

"Why not?" said Gurder.

The problem was solved by installing the Nvidia driver instead of Nouveau!
Sorry for wasting your time and thanks for your help!
Now I will try to use Photoscenery

Can you post which version of Nouveau cased the problem? Would be good if other users report the same issue, and the Nouvea developers might even appreciate a bug report.

This version stood:
name: nouveau
vermagic: 5.4.0-65-generic SMP mod_unload
Unfortunately, I don’t know how to find out the version

Now this:
name: nvidia
version: 460.32.03

Thanks, I've added it to some notes here, just in case it's useful.
