fgdata compatibility issue

Postby john_andrew » Wed Nov 29, 2017 6:59 am

Hi

I compiled fg 3.1.0 with osgearth on windows. It all went fine.
The fgdata version is 3.1.0. When invoke fgfs.exe, it pops up the message saying to use "..version Nov 2017".
What does that message indicate?
Is there a way to find the installation was done properly?


Thanks

The message would suggest that the binary you're using is in fact not 3.1 but more recent and that it expects a different FGData. To get the obvious out of the way - are you sure you compiled what you think you did, are you sure you ran what you compiled?

It does sound like the issue of having multiple fgfs binaries and multiple fgdata versions on the same system, and having an accidental mismatch between them.

yeah, this really sounds like the binary is 2017.3.1 and not 3.1.0... was that 3.1.0 even released?

Now, I tried with fgdata version 3.1.0 (https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fg ... 420f/tree/).
I dont get that message of incomptibility. But scenery loading hangs indefinitely. The command line displays,

I am not sure about the mistake committed.

i'm guessing that's the problem... SVN is no longer used for flightgear scenery... it was too restrictive and dropped from use not long after the huge project move that was forced several years ago when two repository hosts closed shop and the entire flightgear project moved to sourceforge...

if you want today's offerings of scenery and craft, you must use today's flightgear versions... sorry...

I suppose you can fetch the scenery manually and disable terrasync, but built-in SVN-based terrasync won't work any more.

Now I tried disabling terrasync. But the result is same. Hangs indefinitely at loading scenery.
My command is,

C:/Users/FG2/2016.2.0/bin/fgfs.exe
--fg-root=C:/Users/FG2/data-3.1.0
--fg-scenery=C:/Users/FG2/data-3.1.0/Scenery
--aircraft=ufo
--console
--disable-terrasync
--disable-random-objects
--disable-ai-models
--disable-ai-traffic
--disable-real-weather-fetch
--timeofday=noon
--disable-fgcom


unable to diagnose the error.

In this case you're probably screwed... I don't think anyone will dust off 3.1 in order to try to reproduce what might be going wrong at your end, sorry.

I suspect there is something wrong with your FGDATA;

I suggest that you instead get Jeff's original zip archive fg3.1.0-OsgEarth.zip and follow the instructions in the original message which is linked below. This archive contains a cut down version of 3.1 fgdata.
