$FG_HOME is an environment variable representing the path to where user-specific data is stored (not application data). Basically, it is a name for a directory that varies with the operating system and stores information between sessions: configuration/preferences, properties marked with the "user-archive" attribute, and aircraft-specific settings (using the data helper class in aircraft.nas).

Common paths

Note for Windows users: %APPDATA% is another environment variable that depends on your operating system's language.

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\flightgear.org\
  • Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/FlightGear
  • Linux: ~/.fgfs/
