I am new to Flightgear my first flight was two days ago, and my 1st post is now.
I am running a live version of ubuntu off a usb stick, and I have flightgear installed on it. It works pretty good, no real issues. I thought it may be slow and laggy...but it runs smooth.
So I want to try and test better scenery and found the youtube video showing flightgear with osgearth.
I thought they looked pretty nice and wanted to try it out, but I am finding it hard to get good documentation on how to install it. I found this...
http://wiki.flightgear.org/Building_FlightGear_with_osgEarth_Integration
but I am having a little bit of hard time following it. For one example this is under the assumptions...
You already have working branches of SG/FG and FGData, you only need to add the simperative branches as remote tracking branches
I'm thinking, what's a branch? What's SG? .... SimGear do I have that and I wonder if it got installed with flighthgear, and did FGData get installed with the ubuntu binary ?
I don't know this stuff because I just did an "apt-get" to install Flightgear and had the program less than a week.
so my question is, is there any updated information on the linux install or any binaries already created for osgearth?
Or maybe some other options I am not aware of, so any input or advice would be nice.
thanks,
