It can be done according to the following picture. You'll have to disable Rembrandt on the FG menus prior to the flight session. Most of the aircraft are already Rembrandt-ready, but some will display weird effects, like non-transparent canopies, if they're not ready for that type of rendering. Graphically the latest advances in Flight Gear 3.0.0 scenery rendering are made through the "Rembrandt" platform. It can run really fast or really slow, depending on the rendering options you chose.
Just like with any other flight simulator, you'll have to adapt Flight Gear to your system.
That's where it'll, among other things, place the Terrasync-downloaded tiles. In Windows you'll notice that Flight Gear 3.0.0 creates a subfolder FlightGear under your Documents folder.
#Flightgear v3.0 install
If you're running a 64 bit version of Windows ( or other operating system ) do not chose the option to install the 32 bit version on 64 bit systems! Use what you have, and you'll be running a modern 64 bit simulator!ĭuring the install process the OpenAL installer will popup and ask you for permission to install - accept it, because it is used for the sounds using the Open AL library. I always have a selected folder in my PCs to install all of the simulators under it. When the installer prompts for an install directory, make sure you do not install under "Programs". In the future, if you like FG3, you can then download a frozen version of the Scenery V2 for selected areas, by tiles, like you do for X-Plane 10. Sometimes, since there are constant updates to this new scenery database, based, among other sources of data, on OSM, you get a download of certain components even when you're going to a place you have visited before. This new scenery is the future of the scenery engine to be used from now on on Flight Gear, covers the whole World, and it uses "Terrasync" to automatically download the scenery for you whenever you place your aircraft at an aerodrome where you've not been previously. The Scenery in v3.0.0 is now V2, a kind of HD v2 of X-Plane :-). I am still learning my way across Flight Gear 3, but will try to give you my best answers / advices.įirst of, get the latest installer from :ĭo not, right away, download any Scenery. I hope you find it useful, and please feel free to ask any questions.
#Flightgear v3.0 simulator
This simulator shouldn't make you trash yoir other sims, no way! But being freeware, it poses no threat either -) then you should really give Flight Gear a fair try!
#Flightgear v3.0 software
If flight modelling quality, even some systems detail, and weather, are strong points in a simulation software for you. Contrarily to MS FLIGHT, this Flight Gear Project has a rather brilliant future, IMO, and for me it became by far my preferred general flight simulator! Although there are yet just a few high standard aircraft add-ons available, there are many others very nice to teka just for a short ride. I am really spending a Great Time with Flight Gear, comparable only to the joy using MS FLIGHT gave me 2 years ago. In this post, and another one or two I intend to publish in this forum, I'll try to summarize the aspects of installing and running Flight Gear that I believe are basic, but important specially for new users.
