In FlightGear 2016.3, the console and <code>--console</code> option were removed. However, some users may still want the console to debug errors, etc. This article will show how to '''show the FlightGear console on Windows'''.


Running flightgear from an already open command window has one small advantage  - when  flightgear exits (or crashes) the command window, complete with the log messages, stays open. Running from a batch file  (unless one puts a "press any button to continue" trap at the end of the batch file) closes the window, and you don´t know what lead to the crash.<ref>{{cite web
