No luck, however.

You need two dashes, because its a long parameter.
If you use only one dash, every character stays for one parameter.
As example
- Code: Select all
fgfs --help
means the long parameter 'help'.
Where as
- Code: Select all
fgfs -help
is equivalent with
- Code: Select all
fgfs -h -e -l -p
where every character is a different parameter.
In your case, you need two dashes so that the program read the string up to the next white space.
If you receive a error message, please post it here. There are enough high experienced users on this forum to help you.

Hi WoodSTokk,
Thanks for that pointer. I did not know that - learnt a new thing for today.
It seems there were two dashes there all along. They were too small for me to see that there were two.
Nevertheless, Free Air Map does not seem to sync to Flight Gear for me. It asked for an internet connection which I allowed
