It is recommended to use a separate scenery directory for TerraSync (i.e. do not run have it store its downloaded files in your main scenery directory) because network interruptions may upset the synchronization protocol and garble what is stored there. If/when that happens the easiest solution is to delete the affected subdirectory and let terrasync download it again (see [[Howto:_Animated_jetways#Usage]]. | It is recommended to use a separate scenery directory for TerraSync (i.e. do not run have it store its downloaded files in your main scenery directory) because network interruptions may upset the synchronization protocol and garble what is stored there.

# 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. | # Select the destination folder for all files downloaded by terrasync.
