I have both compiled and put up on my site.
I haven't tested Flightgear yet as I do not have the hardware for it (That is coming this weekend). Very Happy

I've been staying out of the packaging forum lately. I have been wanting to get Flight Gear to work. I guess your off playing it. Smile

For anyone that was missing fgfs-base from my site it was because I forgot to add it to the page. It is there now so please download it.

I tried to install fgfs today, but first ran into dependency problems with plib, which required ( If i remember correctly) libglu, then libglut3-dev which required xlibmesa-gl-dev which said it was a broken package. Any ideas on how to get to the bottom of this?
Thanks!

Did you install the plib from my site?

Make sure you have unsupported in our sources.list
Install the four debs using dpkg -i fgfs-base_0.9.8-1_all.deb flightgear_0.9.8-1_i386.deb simgear0_0.3.8-1_i386.deb plib1.8.4_1.8.4-1_i386.deb
Run apt-get install -f
This will resolve the dependency issues and works fine.

Thanks Kevin, that did the trick. Now, is there a command other than fgfs to start it such as runfgfs mentioned in the documentation? I know the windows version started with a screen that let you pick location, airplane model and such.
