These objects are included in each scenery release, but as the object database is more frequently updated than the terrain, one may want to occasionally update the Object subdirectory from the FlightGear Scenery Objects Database between scenery releases.Īnother option is to download or update the scenery on-demand by using the terrasync program described below.

Objects and models can be found at the FlightGear Scenery Objects Database.

Note that you have to extract the tar archive in the Scenery directory, not in the FG_ROOT directory, because the Scenery directory is not present in the archive. Note that the directory structure is already present in the tar archive, starting from the Scenery directory. If you download a scenery module called w90n40.tgz from and extract it in Scenery, the result will resemble something like the following: The Scenery directory will show the following (scenery is shown for completeness and for easy reference to above): Go back to the first page of fgrun, and add the $FOOBAR/Scenery folder to the list. Set FG_SCENERY='$FOOBAR/Scenery' + FG_SCENERY Then you should set up $FG_SCENERY to use the new path: You should untar individual files into the /Terrain folder. In this directory, create two subdirectories: /Objects and /Terrain. In this connection you should note that the scenery packaged with the base package/windows installer may not be the latest scenery.įor this reason it's probably better to extract scenery files you've downloaded into a new folder, which we'll call, for the sake of this exercise, $FOOBAR/Scenery. Mixing scenery types is almost universally a bad idea, and is unsupported. Should the paths in $FG_SCENERY not be valid, FlightGear falls back to $FG_ROOT/scenery. Scenery for FlightGear is determined by looking at the environment variable $FG_SCENERY. Do not forget to press the 'Refresh' (German: 'Neu Laden') button on the airport selection page, when using the FlightGear Wizard.

If this is not set, you should substitute in the above examples the $FG_ROOT with the full pathname of this directory. In the above two examples it is supposed that the variable $FG_ROOT is set to the root of the data directory. Tar -xvzf 'input_file.tgz' -C $FG_ROOT/Scenery If you are under a Linux operation system and you are not using a graphical interface to extract the tar archive, you can use one of the two following set of commands in a shell terminal. You can optionally use a GUI installer, called FGAdmin, to (un)install scenery. meaning that this location would be E150N20. so you should find the block with W160N20 If the co-ords were 21 N 157 E, you would round it down. If it's in the western hemisphere, you should round it up. Find the co-ordinates (often at the top or right and side, marked with a small globe).Go to the Wikipedia page for the airport in question (for example, PHNL for Honolulu).

Here is how to find an airport's co-ordinates: Be careful about confusing N with S, and E with W!! Use the graphical interface to find the appropriate chunk. Downloading from mirrors is often better than the official site, because mirrors are sometimes faster and have more user capacity. On most of the mirrors, the latest scenery can be found under Scenery-1.0.0/.
