I am experimenting with dual-system now, so I have Windows Vista and Linux Mint 17 installed on the same drive (in different partitions, naturally).
I have a working FlightGear 2.8 installed on Vista. Now I have installed FGFS (the latest stable) to Linux Mint file system as well. In order to avoid having two different copies of scenery on my laptop, I referred to the Data/Scenery folder of the Vista installation in the scenery locations (as a secondary location - though I am not yet completely sure how that new launcher works). It seems to work, but with one flaw:
In my custom scenery, I have some shared object files brought into a separate folder, which is placed into Scenery (so that I have there now "Airports", "Objects", "Terrain", and "Estonia", the latter is the folder I store shared models specific for my scenery, in order not to clutter up Models folder). And the object descriptions in STG files refer to just those objects. And it has worked for many years on Vista (and presumably other systems) with no trouble.
However, when I tried to do it now with the abovementioned configuration, FG cannot find those objects in "Estonia" folder. It looks to me as if FG cannot find the folder, since the path definition leads to somewhere else. But I failed to find where.
Is it possible to solve this problem without rewriting STG files or creating two copies of scenery on my drive?
Thank you.
Console output looks like:
