=== Start TerraSync from [[FGRun]] in FlightGear 2.2.0 ===
# After starting FGRun, make sure you are in the first screen where you can set up directories. One time "Back" from the aircraft selection page. You are now at the "Path" page.
# You can create a list of scenery directories next to "[[$FG_SCENERY|FG_SCENERY]]". Select the line that TerraSync will be using and press the "TerraSync directory" button on the right. A small "T" will appear on the selected line, indicating that this one is set up as TerraSync direcotry.
#* The directories are being loaded from top to bottom, so make sure TerraSync is on top (unless you want to "surpass" terrasync and siplay scenery from another directory).  When two directories contain scenery for the same region, FlightGear will take the scenery from the directory higher in the list.
# Finally, go to the last screen. There you have to activate TerraSync as in the following screenshot. Now TerraSync should work.<br />[[File:TerraSync 2.png|500px]]
''Note: Expect your firewall to block it the first time you run it; just tell the firewall to allow TerraSync to use the port.''

# Select the destination folder for all files downloaded by terrasync. Usually the folder <code>[[$FG_ROOT]]\terrasync</code> already exists and you only have to add it to the list (as in the above example). Insure that it is positioned '''above''' your standard scenery folder (here that is <code>FlightGear191\scenery</code>) and all other directories over which the terrasync folder is supposed to have priority. When two directories contain information for the same region, FlightGear will take the information from the directory higher in the list. On Linux make sure the directory does not only to have a T, but also is the topmost folder.
