Initial position

[Merik]

In this tutorial: http://www.flightgear.org/Docs/getstart/getstartch7.html#x13-1130007.7.2 it is suggested that we use this command for landing practice:

fgfs –offset-distance=5 –altitude=1500 –vc=120 –timeofday=noon

I'm unable to run FlightGear on windows by running fgfs command directly (it says it can't find an instance of FlightGear and I probably need to install it). I was wondering if there is a way to the same thing using the FlightGear Wizard (in the Initial Position of Advanced settings).

Any idea?

I know you can specify these (or at least most of them) from FGRun, but I don't know how.

When using the command line, you have to find where the fgfs executable is installed, and change directory into that folder. Then that command should work, although you'll also have to specify your root directory and possible other needs for it to run. It is probably easier to just use FGRun.

I hope this helps.

I know you can specify these (or at least most of them) from FGRun, but I don't know how.

For some reason the fields in FGRun are disabled (Fred?). You can work around this by adding the commandline arguments in the FG executable box on the first page of the launcher (before aircraft selection).

Please have a look at http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Co ... rientation for the current correct commandline options btw (–offset-distance=5 should be -–offset-distance=5 for example).
