In order to work with WED without installing X-Plane, one needs to create a special <tt>Custom Scenery</tt> directory, for example <tt>X-Plane/Custom Scenery</tt>. When launching WED for the first time, click the "Choose X-Plane folder" directory and select the folder that your <tt>Custom Scenery</tt> houses in (in our example: <tt>X-Plane</tt>).

There is a beta binary of WorldEditor 1.2 which is quite usable but you have to be careful and save your work often because it could crash and make you lose your work. Note that this binary works only on 64 bit linux systems. [http://developer.x-plane.com/tools/worldeditor/ developer.x-plane.com]

WED will require that you choose the X-Plane folder before it will do anything else. Create a working directory with the following structure before starting WED for the first time.
X-Plane itself does not need to be installed before using WED. However, WED will require that you choose the X-Plane folder before it will allow you to do anything. Create a working directory with the following structure before starting WED for the first time.

This paragraph was written by a person who is a newbie to WED. An experienced WED user is requested to verify and edit this as required.


As on [[#Mac/Windows|Mac/Windows]] WED needs a certain working directory <tt>some_name/Custom Scenery</tt>. Assuming your self made scenery stuff lives (/is going to be) in <tt>~/FGscenery-workbench</tt>, create a directory:
Click "Choose X-Plane folder". Select the <tt>working directory</tt> for the X-Plane folder.
mkdir -p ~/FGscenery-workbench/Custom\ Scenery


Choose <tt>FGscenery-workbench</tt> as "X-PLANE FOLDER" the first time you start WED:
