 === When I start FlightGear I get an error mentioning "SQLite".  What do I do? ===
-Since FlightGear v2.10 (released in February 2013), the [[navdata cache]] was introduced to improve the FlightGear start times.  This cache is a SQLite database that is, at times, a little fragile.  If the database is corrupted, as sometimes occurs, FlightGear will refuse to start.

-To fix this you simply need to delete the <code>[[$FG_HOME]]/navdata.cache</code> file.  The first time FlightGear starts after deletion of the file, FlightGear will rebuild the navdata cache.  This may make FlightGear take more time to start.
+To fix this you simply need to delete the <code>[[$FG_HOME]]/navdata.cache</code> file.  The first time FlightGear starts after deletion of the file the navdata cache will be rebuild.  As this process is time consuming, FlightGear will take more time to start.
 Some will resort to delete the entire <code>$FG_HOME</code> directory or even reinstall FlightGear.  However neither is needed and may cause you to lose any custom preferences you have set up.
