Open Git Bash via <tt>C:/Program Files/msysgit/Git Bash</tt> (the shortcut) and run (replacing the path with your prefered path): | |||
cd D:/FlightGear/data | |||
Then run the following, to initialise a Git repository. This should create a .git directory in data/. | |||
git init | |||
Add the following command and press Enter. | |||
git clone git://mapserver.flightgear.org/fgdata/ | git clone git://mapserver.flightgear.org/fgdata/ | ||
Now msysGit will pull the entire fgdata package into your <tt>FlightGear/data</tt> directory.

Make sure to set "git-config core.safecrlf true" and "git-config core.autocrlf false" in your options or you may receive nasty error or even a crash on startup of FG (e.g. fgtzfile_read(): : Invalid argument...
