It's possible that the FlightGear default shader settings are not supported with your hardware/drivers, so that the process will be killed by the OS because it's trying to do something not supported by your computer. If you are experiencing full system crashes, you should see [[System Crashes]] instead. | It's possible that the FlightGear default shader settings are not supported with your hardware/drivers, so that the process will be killed by the OS because it's trying to do something not supported by your computer.

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.

Also, make sure you've got the newest driver for your video card installed and running without errors. A suggestion for a thorough updating procedure can be found at [[Graphics drivers configuration]]. | Also, make sure you've got the newest driver for your video card installed and running without errors.
