Flightgear doesn't launch

Postby Michel » Thu Sep 11, 2014 12:05 pm

Hello,
After having downloaded the latest Flightgear version from Flightgear Download central, I was unable to launch the program: the Icon in the application bar bounces a few times, then stops bouncing and nothing happens. Double-click the icon in the Application folder does not give more results. Deleting the program, new download, restarting the Mac, nothing cured. But, looking around in the forum, I saw somewhere a launch method from the Terminal:
exec /Applications/FlightGear.app/Contents/MacOS/fgfs
This method works! Can somebody explain me how to launch the program from the Finder?
These are the technical details:
Macbook Pro 13", OS X 10.9.4
Flightgear 3.0.0
The console logs:

Perhaps is there a interference possible with the fact that I imported my data (but not the applications) from my 7 years old MacBook where FG 2.6.0 was installed?
Many thanks in advance to those who are willing to help me!
