=== Starting FlightGear === | |||
Many users choose to start FlightGear from the command line ("console" or "shell" as it is known to Unix users). | |||
To start FlightGear type on the command line: | |||
fgfs | |||
and hit enter. This will start FlightGear. | |||
If FlightGear fails to start, it is likely the compiled FlightGear binary software is not in your path. If you know Unix, you may add the location of the binary to your path and try starting again. Otherwise, you may find the location of the 'fgfs' binary and enter an absolute path to it like | |||
/usr/games/fgfs | |||
The location depends on your particular system and choices you made during compile and installation. | |||
