Flightgear development version issues

Postby turntactik » Mon Jun 07, 2010 7:08 pm

Can anyone tell me what this means? By the way, I'm a newbie..

I tried to run FG from the command prompt and used this thread (edited to my prefs and comp) to run fg:

(re-edit) I got this from a web site and used its format.. C:\Program Files\FlightGear\bin\win32\fgfs.exe --fg-root=C:\Program Files\FlightGear\data fg-scenery=C:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Scenery --airport=KSFO --aircraft=c172p

After I looked closer at the thread, I noticed there were no hyphens before fg scenery, and corrected it only to get the same error.

(added after the original post) The command i used was:

fgrun.exe --fg-root=c:\flightgear\data --fg-scenery=c:\flightgear\data\scenery -airport=ksfo -aircraft=f-14b

(favorite aircraft velocity-xl)

I noticed that too, but no fix maybe I should have used the -- symbols instead of typing the word hyphens.. :D

It might have something to do with the fact that you have installed FG in a directory that includes a space. Try placing quotes " around the paths.

Actually the command i used was:

fgrun.exe --fg-root=c:\flightgear\data --fg-scenery=c:\flightgear\data\scenery -airport=ksfo -aircraft=f-14b

no spaces, and its a development version so something could be out of date.. I found some clones on git, am going to install them and see what happens. Also, this has effected my 1.9.1 the same way (1.9.1 lives in my program files dir, so two separate fg's one the same drive). Have already uninstalled 1.9.1, will make changes and post.

I reinstalled 1.9.1 and it worked fine, tried to run my build version and this is what I got:

I realize my data and binaries need to have the same date, so I have been looking in gitorious for them, but WHICH files do I need to get? I cloned the master fg data tarball (tho my computer isnt downloading the complete file for some reason..) and I figured that the master flightgear repository file is the other I need.. 2.3 mb tar
-Is this Correct?

I have installed fgrun+fgfs-osg-win32-git-20100529 as a zip (cvs not working ; git not pulling)
and a FlightGear-2.0.0.tar

Since re-installing 1.9 changed my result for running my build, Im guessing there must be a path referring to c:\program files\flightgear\data ..

How many different ways can I set up paths for flightgear directories (without getting too deep)
So far I have:
1. command prompt
2. fgrun (wizard)
3. git bash (?) still learning this

And is there a way to check all these via command prompt?

The command-line you've shown doesn't have '=' in the right place. It should be

Code: Select all
fgfs.exe --fg-root=c:\flightgear\data --fg-scenery=c:\flightgear\data\scenery


That should solve your problem.

Obviously my original error was a simple syntax mistake..

O.k. now the problem, after correcting my input i came up with this:

Firstly, the command prompt shows FG Initializing Liveries, next it loads the 'nimitz scenerio',
Then, it goes crazy with the- Warning: TangentSpaceGenerator ..

I noticed the same voice synth word commands loaded twice.. Anything here to do with common 2.0 crash problems?? Should I start a new thread???

Is your base package in any way modified? Have you customized your startup settings in any way?
Are you able to start a default FlightGear installation with just the default settings?
Have you tried using a different log level to get additional information?

I reinstalled 1.9.1 and it worked fine, tried to run my build version and this is what I got:

What "build version" are you referring to? Is this a custom built binary?

No, those are harmless.
Recently on IRC we fixed a machine by deleting the openal32.dll from the FG folder and installing openal from the creative website. You could try --disable-sound to see if your problem is sound related, and if so, do the replacement.

No custom binaries as far as I know, I haven't modified any of my information in any way, and I've tried to keep my downloads basic and current. I found my al folder wasnt extracted properly, so I extracted it, ran fgfs, and the error disappeared.

I'm running my "built" version from 2.0 data, and with increasing my log level this was what I got:

The information that I reviewed looked good, the tiles loaded properly, traffic manager ran its course, and primitive errors still occured, but FG crashes when GPS switches to OBS mode..
