Like all [http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/R/rc-file.html rc-files], the ''fgfsrc''s purpose is to contain [[Command Line Parameters]] (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. Anyhow, it is possible to use fgrun to create your personal set of options by copy-and-pasting them from the ''Show command line'' textbox (on the last page of FGRun) into ''fgfsrc''. | |||

===== Some 'rules' for the content: ===== | A simple way to have more than one setup is to replace ''fgfsrc'' by a link which can be changed according to the setup one wants to load. On a GNU/Linux system this could look like | ||
ls -l ~/.fgfsrc* | |||
... /home/user/.fgfsrc -> .fgfsrc.cvs | |||
... /home/user/.fgfsrc.1.9.1 | |||
... /home/user/.fgfsrc.cvs | |||
===== Some 'rules' for the file and it's content: ===== | |||
* The file is plain text (ASCII), like saving a .txt-file with Wordpad. | |||
* Each line contains one option only. | * Each line contains one option only. | ||
* If the first 'visible' character is a '#', ''fgfs'' totally ignores the line (comment). | * If the first 'visible' character is a '#', ''fgfs'' totally ignores the line (comment). | ||

Have in mind, that *at least* the local paths (like fg-root and fg-scenery) and the [[Multiplayer]] options have to be altered to work on your system! | |||
