* '''[[$FG ROOT|FG_ROOT]]''': the full path to the FlightGear base package (<tt>data/</tt> directory). If this path is wrong, no [[aircraft]] would be displayed and FlightGear won't run. | * '''[[$FG ROOT|FG_ROOT]]''': the full path to the FlightGear base package (<tt>data/</tt> directory).

* '''[[FG SCENERY]]''': the paths to [[scenery]] folders. These folders usually have a 'Terrain', and optionally a 'Objects' , subfolders. You can add a new path with the 'Add...' button. Priorities among folders are managed with the up and down arrows; the top most folder having the highest priority. | * '''[[FG SCENERY]]''': the paths to [[scenery]] folders.

* '''Airports Cache''': the location of the file that stores the [[:Category:Airports|airport]] ids found in the scenery. It is faster to access that file than to scan scenery directories to build the airport list. It is possible to delete that file if things go wrong. That will force a new scan when the third page will be shown. | * '''Airports Cache''': the location of the file that stores the [[:Category:Airports|airport]] ids found in the scenery.
