The files ''fgfsrc'' purpose is to contain [[Command Line Parameters]] which are read by ''fgfs'' at startup. This is for users who start FlightGear from the [[command line]], users using a graphical user interface like [[fgrun]] don't have to bother about this at all. Anyhow, it is possible to use fgrun to create your personal set of options by copy'n'paste_ing them from the ''Show command line'' textbox into ''fgfsrc''. | |||
It is very likely that this file does not exist on your system yet and therefore has to be created by the user, you. The contents of the file are handled the same way by ''fgfs'' on all operating systems. But the name and location is not: | |||
* on ''GNU/Linux'' (POSIX = Mac OS X?) the file is called ''.fgfsrc'' (note the leading dot!) and ''fgfs'' is looking for it inside the users $HOME directory. To figure out where this is on your system, open a terminal window (shell) and enter <code>cd $HOME</code>. | |||
* on ''Windows'' systems the file is called ''system.fgfsrc'' and lives in $FG_ROOT which, on a standard installation, is ''C:\Program Files\FlightGear\data''. | |||
===== Some 'rules' for the content: ===== | |||
* Each line contains one option only. | |||
* If the first 'visible' character is a '#', ''fgfs'' does not read this line (comment). | |||
* Lines containing an option followed by a comment are *not* allowed! (<code>--some-option # some comment</code>) | |||
===== An example of a basic ''fgfsrc'' file: ===== | |||
# $HOME/.fgfsrc | # $HOME/.fgfsrc | ||
