Hi
Sorry, if this has already been said, when I load up FG it says 'loading scenery' then appears on the sea. So I click 'select airport' and it reloads scenery, all fine!
Does anyone know why this might happen?

Hi BRT
This happens because you're starting up flightgear at a location where you don't have scenery yet. Default flightgear scenery covers only a small piece of scenery near KSFO. Once flightgear is started at another location terrasync starts to download missing scenery. After a while, when all is downloaded you have all the scenery and it is showing up, automatically or by finding the "reload scenery" button in the menues. The time it takes depends on your bandwith.

Thanks for the idea, but it's not that because even at KSFO or somewhere i do have scenery it happens...
It might not be able to find the right scenery though?

I would be very surprised if just clicking the "Select airport" menu would load scenery. Could you please describe all steps you take to load the scenery?
Also, make sure your $FG_SCENERY paths are correct and check the console for errors.

The scenery paths are correct...
Thanks!

The problem is still happening. I would be thankful to help.
I found that it's not that there is no scenery but that when i select airport it puts me at the coordinates 0.00000 0.000000
Where there is just sea...
Do you know why that could/might happen?
Many thanks!!

Hm, strange thing! Does the problem still exist?
Have you double checked all paths and settings? Did you read up on the wiki about "scenery"? Maybe sth shows up, if you posted your specs, as described in the red box on top of this page...
I've never heard about sth like this, except when some scenery paths have been set wrong, or maybe in the wrong order...
Hope to bring in some motion...

Don't hesitate to let me know if I'm incorrect or just annoying! As long as you do it gently! :)

Sounds like you're overwriting the airport selection through some other location setting (e.g. fixed lat/Lon). Check the Advanced dialog of the launcher and make sure all initial position fields are empty.
