FlightGear 3.6 authorization problems

Postby D-ECHO » Wed Jul 29, 2015 7:21 pm

While starting flightgear 3.6 (via ppa:saiarcot895/flightgear-edge) on LinuxMint 17 Rebecca, there are always messages like this (example with Tecnam P2010):

The last runtime errors appear when clicking "Select Livery" in the GUI menu, the livery dialog doesn't open.
Can anyone tell me what's the problem?

Before 3.6, there was a security bug where any Nasal script could read an arbitrary file on the filesystem via symlinks; now symbolic links are disabled by default (and I guess the PPA package uses them).

To enable them again, use this command line switch (solution courtesy of Rebecca N. Palmer on the -devel mailing list):
Use --fg-aircraft=/home/<username>/fgfs/<project> to allow this directory (requires the full path, not ~; if you have more than one, --fg-aircraft=/home/<username>/fgfs/<project1>:/home/<username>/fgfs/<project2>).


(Make sure to use this switch only for aircraft packages you trust!)

See this thread on the mailing list for more information.

I am using Windows so it should work but I thought the newest release will be 3.6... Why is there version 3.7? Thanks for replying,

From January/July 7th we keep two versions in parallel, the next/newest release (in this case, 3.6) and the development release (3.7).
  • The next release receives only bug fixes until the release date (around February/August 18th).
  • The development release, on the contrary, will receive new features (and will eventually become FlightGear 3.8 ).
This way, no potentially "breaking" bugs are introduced in the next release, but we won't lose a month of development time.

See the Release plan article on the wiki for more details.

If possible, please download the 3.6 nightly version from http://download.flightgear.org/builds/nightly/ and report bugs on the bug tracker - since the 3.6 release date is in two weeks, we are definitely in need of testers!

Hoi elgaton,

is there also a next release on the download-server for Mac OS? Because I only see the latest nightly, what's a 3.7?

Thanks, Thomas

No (I think the configuration of the Macs on which FlightGear is built automatically still needs to be adjusted).

android - that is normal as far as I know - back a while only those two (c172p) and (ufo) were left in the Aircraft folder and the rest are available via GIT or SVN - see these two wiki pages
I prefer FGMEMBERS of the two
