'''$FG_ROOT''' is refered to as the main directory of [[FlightGear]], containing the so called ''base package'' (default [[aircraft]] and [[scenery]], [[Menubar|GUI]] files etc). When running FlightGear from a [[command line]], you can set $FG_ROOT via <tt>--fg-root=path/to/root</tt>. In [[FGRun]], it is set on the paths page, previous to the aircraft selection page. | '''$FG_ROOT''' is refered to as the main directory of [[FlightGear]], containing the so called ''base package'' (default [[aircraft]] and [[scenery]], [[Menubar|GUI]] files etc).

* On '''Mac OS X''', $FG_ROOT is not installed automatically. See [[New to FlightGear#Installing on Mac OS X|New to FlightGear]] for an installation manual. | |||
* As of FlightGear 2.4.0, it is advised to install additional scenery and aircraft in [[$FG_SCENERY]] and [[$FG_AIRCRAFT]] directories outside $FG_ROOT. This allow for maintaining the additional stuff when installing a new version of FlightGear. | |||
