As of the FlightGear 3.0 release, TerraSync has changed significantly. By default, | As of the FlightGear 3.0 release, TerraSync has changed significantly. By default, when enabled with <code>--enable-terrasync</code><ref name="enabling-TerraSync-with-specific-launchers>In FGRun, this can be done via the appropriate checkbox on the last page. In FFGo, just uncomment the <code>--enable-terrasync</code> option from the default configuration in the Options Window (the “big window” on the left, below the aircraft list).</ref>, TerraSync now downloads to the <i>download_dir</i>/TerraSync, where <i>download_dir</i> is FlightGear's download directory. | ||
FlightGear's download directory may be explicitely set using FlightGear's <code>--download-dir</code> [[Command line options|command line option]], otherwise it defaults to: | |||
*[[$FG_HOME]] on non-Windows systems; | |||

Optionally, the TerraSync directory may be explicitely set using FlightGear's <code>--terrasync-dir</code> [[Command line options|command line option]], or through the <tt>Advanced > General</tt> dialog of FGRun. TerraSync will then download to that directory, regardless of FlightGear's download directory. The directory is automatically given top priority, unless specified otherwise in [[$FG_SCENERY]]. No other configuration is needed. | |||
In summary, if you neither pass <code>--terrasync-dir</code> nor <code>--download-dir</code> to FlightGear, then the '''default TerraSync directory'''<ref name="default-TerraSync-dir-in-FG-code">As derived from an inspection of the FlightGear 2016.2.0 source code on March 21, 2016.</ref> is: | |||
