madman6510 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Legal notice: I didn't make it. I don't own it. Note: This guide will only work for windows. Sorry mac lovers. I found a cool fight simulator on the internet that you can get for free! You can download it at http://flightgear.org/Downloads/ Flightgear is an open coded fight simulator with which you can fly all over the world in all kinds of aircraft! You start out with the scenery package around San Francisco, but you can expand this by clicking on the 10x10 chunks of the world at http://flightgear.org/Downloads/scenery-0.9.10.html Downloading scenery If you don't know how, downloading the scenery can be a PAIN. First, download the scenery you want from the link in the previous paragraph. Put it in a seprate folder from everything else. Now go to Start>All Programs>Flightgear(version number here)>Install & Uninstall scenery. After opening that program, change the scenery source to where you put the files, and switch the download destination to C:/Program Files/FlightGear/data/Scenery/Terrain. There and ONLY THERE. It won't work if you put it anywhere else. Now simply check all the boxes on the left side, and press "Install Selected Files." Wait for it to finish, then open the flightgear launcher, click prev, and add C:/Program Files/FlightGear/data/Scenery/Terrain to the list. Then go to the airport select page and wait for it to update. Flying with Flightgear Ok, so you want to fly. Simply open the flightgear launcher from the start menu, select your plane, select your airport, and select the graphics. Then press run and you're off. Take some time to read the common aircraft keys in the help menu if you're new. Multiplayer So you want to fly with your friends. When you get to the graphic select page after the airport page, put mpserver03.flightgear.org, and put 5000 in the IN and OUT boxes. Then open your browser to http://mpmap01.flightgear.org/ to see the multiplayer map, powered by Google. Wha...? Confused? PM me for help with WINDOWS. For mac's, you're better off posting on their message boards. Retired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barihawk Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Sorry i'll stick to my Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 when I want to take to the skies :thumbsup: Amen. I love flying online...except when the noobs come rushing in with freaking jets. I am actually enjoying sailing with boats on FS2004...so relaxing... My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
