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]].

== Status 06/2013 - FlightGear 2.11+ ==
== Running TerraSync ==
Note: SimGear 2.11+ now has experimental support for a libsvn replacement, people building from source are encouraged to help with testing and debugging this new feature:


{{cquote|<nowiki>First, I need some help; for people to rebuild simgear with -DSG_SVN_CLIENT=1, and mv / erase their TerraSync dir. Then simply run FGFS as normal, as if you were starting on a new machine / account with no previous use of TerraSync.</nowiki><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg40191.html|title=TerraSync libSVN replacement testing|author=James Turner|date=Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:58:20 -0700}}</ref>|James Turner}}
=== FlightGear 2.99, 3.0 and later ===
Currently in Git, and as of the upcoming FlightGear 3.0 release, TerraSync has changed significantly. By default, TerraSync now downloads to a folder in the [[$FG_HOME]] directory when enabled with <code>--enable-terrasync</code> or through the checkbox on the last page of FGRun. Optionally a TerraSync directory can be assigned with <code>--terrasync-dir=</code> or through the <tt>Advanced > General</tt> dialog of FGRun. TerraSync will then download to that directory.

=== FlightGear 2.4 up to and including 2.12 ===
== Running TerraSync ==
As of FlightGear 2.4, TerraSync controls are integrated in the usual FlightGear menu, under <tt>Environment > Scenery Download</tt>. You can also check the "Download scenery on the fly" in the setup GUI. Note that if you set your aircraft to start in a new area, where you have not yet downloaded any scenery, your aircraft may first appear to be in the water until sufficient scenery has downloaded. You can go to <tt>Environment > Scenery Download</tt> and choose "Manual Refresh" to apply scenery updates.
