This article is incomplete. Please help improve the article, or discuss the issue on the talk page.

This page is intended to host various start scripts to set up environments to smoothly run FlightGear on various systems, eg. to set the graphics driver straight or run various helper programs, like terrasync or Atlas. Everybody is invited to contribute theirs. Update: Please sign yours, so anyone knows whom to turn to for help
