Map --fg-scenery=/usr/share/games/flightgear/Scenery --atlas=/usr/share/games/flightgear/Atlas opens a window that scrolls through some tiles but for each one I get
WARNING: fntLoadTXF: Failed to open '/usr/share/games/FlightGear/Fonts/helvetica_medium.txf' for reading.
OutputGL::closeOutput: can't create '/usr/share/games/flightgear/Atlas/w050s30.png'the catch being that
Fonts is in
flightgear not
FlightGear. There is a folder
/usr/share/games/FlightGear but this only contains
AtlasPalette file, so how to persuade Map to look in the right folder?
You have to make sure that whatever you give to Map in the --atlas and --fg-scenery options actually exists. If you say
--fg-scenery=/foo/Bar/bling, then you must have a directory /foo/Bar/bling, and it must contain scenery. Note that on Linux, file and directory names are case-sensitive. If you say
--atlas=/Blah/bleep/Atlas then you must have a directory /Blah/bleep (in this case, Map will try to create the 'Atlas' part).
So, check your paths to make sure they exist. I suspect there's just a confusion between case - do you have directories named 'flightgear' or 'FlightGear'?
