Hello,
I am new to FG & Atlas. I love it. I installed it once already, had a blast, uninstalled it and reinstalled it with a better understanding of what it is and how it all works. I thought. The reason I reinstalled is because I wanted my Scenery files in another location. I had all of the U.S. Scenery working fine.
I am running Ubuntu 11.10 on a loptop with plenty of beefyness.
Re-installation:
I installed FG...runs great. All stock right now.
Path to FG is usr/share/games/FlightGear
I installed Atlas, it opens fine, but I cannot see the Bay Area around San Francisco. All ariports and Nav. aids are displayed. Just no Scenery. Again all stock no add-ons yet. I'm thinking I need to set the environment variables so Atlas knows where to find the data. Is this correct?
Question: In Ubuntu/Linux how do I check my environment variables? After that, how do I add-to or change them? I am relatively new to Linux and the more I research this issue I find myself getting more confused. Also where would I put these changes so when I turn on my laptop these variables are loaded on start-up.
When I start FG I use command line: fgfs --nmea=socket,out,0.5,localhost,5500,udp
When I start Atlas I use command line: Atlas --path=usr/share/games/FlightGear --udp=5500
This worked perfect on the first install. (again I reinstalled ONLY to re-due my custom scenery, and to designate a separate file for this data)
I've been all over these forums and read the manual, I'm not asking because I'm lazy, I just cannot figure this part out.
All help will be greatly appreciated!
Update:
I re-installed Atlas again. Same issue. This is the Warning message I get when loading Atlas.
Warning: path usr/share/games/FlightGear/ doesn't exist. Maps won't be loaded!
Please wait while loading databases...done.
Hmmmm...any suggestions?
