TerraSync data is also stored inside the user's home folder, in the 'only' location we are permitted to write too, $HOME/Library/Application Support/FlightGear. To be technical, that's the value of '$FG_HOME', which is where we store all temporary / user-local data such as saved prefs, TerraSync files and aircraft-specific config state. The OSX launcher doesn't actually set this path (any more), this location is the default used by FlightGear itself. You can of course override these paths and set FG_HOME or the TerraSync path manually, from the command line or a config file, but the defaults should 'do what you want'. | ||
