You can determine the location of your $FG_HOME by using the [[Property browser|property tree browser]] and checking the value of '''/sim/fg-home''', the '''/sim/''' branch is also the place where you can find other folders, such as fg-root, fg-scenery and the current working directory (fg-current).

==Use in Troubleshooting==
As one user once said, "When in doubt delete $FG_HOME files". Very many problems, including corrupted databases, broken terrasync, and many others, can be fixed by deleting fgfs_0.txt, fgfs.txt, terrasync_cache, and Navaids database.
When you encounter problems, try deleting the files, but ALWAYS keep the fgfs and fgfs_0 log files to help in troubleshooting.
