Troubleshooting crashes: Difference between revisions

By default, FlightGear 2.6+ will assume a certain runtime environment and certain GPU features which may not be suppported by most older cards (e.g. shader support), such as GeForce 6/7 generation hardware and most older hardware  (older than 4-5 years), so that it can be expected that FG will probably not work on such computers "out of the box" and may get terminated by your operating system eventually, i.e. the default startup settings will need to be customized accordingly, to disable all unsupported default features. See [[Settings for slower graphics cards]], [[Problematic Video Cards]] and [[FlightGear Hardware Recommendations]] for more details.

Before proceeding any further, please make sure that you are actually able to run other OpenGL-based software/simulators/games, unrelated to FlightGear!
