FGx 2.8.0rc1 for OSX

Postby gral » Mon Jul 16, 2012 4:18 pm

Hi all

A preview (release candidate) for FGx/FlightGear 2.8.0 rolled out. You can download rc1 here (http://downloads.fgx.ch/OSX/FGx-2.8.0rc1.zip ~700 MB). It has current OpenSceneGraph/simgear/flightgear and a fresh FGCOM included, should all work on OSX >= 10.5. Just download, unzip and put into Application folder and double click the FGx icon.

FlightGear data (fgx-fgdata) contains a small aircraft selection only (you can download full fgdata via gitorious.org/fgdata and point FGx to this aircraft directory when you want to have all aircrafts included i.e.).

Please test and report FGx related bugs and feature requests here: http://code.google.com/p/fgx/issues/list

Thanks a lot, gral

Installation: When you run an older version of FGx you better backup your profiles and delete "FGx" folder in "/Users/myname/Library/Application Support". Please delete also in "/Users/myname/Library/Preferences" all files containing "fgx". This will give you a clean and fresh install, hopefully without any errors. After starting FGx and flightgear successfully you can load the old profiles and save it under new names at different location.
