Like all [http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/R/rc-file.html rc-files], the '''''fgfsrc'''''s purpose is to contain [[Command Line Options]] which are read by ''fgfs'' at startup. This is for users who start [[FlightGear]] from the [[command line]], so users using a graphical user interface like [[fgrun]] don't have to bother with this at all.
