I applied the patch and flightgear starts, including the new menu entry & dialog.
but when I enable osgEarth it segfaults.
on my linux Mint 13 (x86_64) I had to do a few things to make fgfs run (before the segfault)
apt-get install libplib-dev
apt-get install libgdal1-dev libgdal1-1.7.0 gdal-bin
apt-get install libosgearth1 (2.0+dfsg-4build1)
apt-get install libopenthreads-dev libopenthreads14
ln -s ./libOpenThreads.so.2.6.0 libOpenThreads.so.12 (I only have libOpenThreads.so.14)
fgdata/OsgEarthCache must be writable for the user.
before my flight it was empty. after my flight it is almost 1GB
at runtime OsgEarthCache/GeneratedHeightFields is created but without rw rights for anyone (d------)
I fixed that: chmod 777 GeneratedHeightFields
It's running stable now for more than 30 minutes without a crash
it looks similar to your screenshots - very nice!
issues:
* I was unable to use the right mouse button to change modes & view direction ?
* after a segfault I have to remove ~/.fgfs to make Flightgear runnable again.
It's awesome, fantastic, great!
It's like flying in google earth
Is it here to stay, or will those "arc-gis" servers close down when too many people are using it ?
Thank You!
