 |
|
Hi,
Has anyone else encountered this?
I've just installed FlightGear and the starting positions are completely screwy. I've selected a Cessna 172 and parking spot 1 at Keflavik and hit "Fly" and the cold & dark aircraft is hovering about 100 feet above the ground. Other aircraft are also oddly-positioned, but not quite as high.
I've put a screenshot showing what I mean, looking out of the aircraft over the terminal buildings here: http://nerdybloke.net/misc/fgfs-20240710193113.jpg
Is this a known issue with a quick fix or do I need to dig deeper?

What version of FG is this and where did you get the scenery from? Are you using the GUI launcher?
I'd try starting it from a terminal using as few options as possible (i.e. don't specify aircraft OR location) and | Code: | | --enable-ignore-autosave |
and see whether you get a sensible startup |

Hi,
It's | Code: | | games-simulation/flightgear-2020.3.19::gentoo USE="dbus openmp qt5 udev utils -debug -examples -gdal" CPU_FLAGS_X86="sse2" |
- the default from Portage for ~amd64. The C172P is one of the aircraft that ships with FlightGear, as is Keflavik Airport. I did initially use the GUI launcher to start it.
Starting it with | Code: | | fgfs --ignore-autosave |
results in the same issue (although the starting position is elsewhere on the airfield).
I might give -9999 a try and see what happens.
