Where could I download additional scenery?

At the FlightGear website you'll find a map where you could download world scenery. Objects (buildings, towers, bridges etc.) can be downloaded from the FlightGear Scenery Objects Database.

How do I install scenery?

See: Installing Scenery

Why do I only see water when I start at a location?

You've forgot to download the scenery for this part of the world, or you've installed it not correct.

How do I place objects, like buildings, into FlightGear?

U could use the UFO or place them manual.

Why do I get a red hue instead of textures?

There are several reasons for this.

1. You didn't have the texture files in the same folder as the .ac file.
2. Your texture isn't a multiple of two. Like: 286x120, 530x88 etc.
3. Your texture isn't exported as .rgb. You could do this with a free software called Gimp.

Where could I upload my buildings to so other users can download them?

Send all you're buildings to the FlightGear Scenery Objects Database.
