Mageia 6, x86_64

Installed the packages and attempted to get a Cessna 172 started by following the manual, using keyboard and mouse.  Gave that up as a bad job.

Updated the packages and went back to training at Honolulu National.
Note that running flightgear from the menus brought up a night-time scenario which meant that the cockpit was dark.  Not enough light to find the switches.
Had to start it from the commandline:

$ fgfs --timeofday=morning

That worked fine.  Starting the engine involves putting on the brakes (b) (there is no visual feedback), pressing '-' three times to use both magnetos, setting the mixture level to 30%, pulling back the throttle then pushing it forward slightly, and finally hitting spacebar to start it.  That did not work for me but autostart did - the propeller started turning.  Tried to release brake with b key and increase speed using the numeric keyboard between 3 and 9.  Nothing happened but a passenger aircraft started taxiing up along a parallel runway.  Abandoned the attempt.

However, it looks like the basics are all there so giving this an OK.  There was a continuous stream of information in the terminal.  A local user directory id created.
$ du -hs .fgfs
332M	.fgfs

Also checked the anaglyphic stereo mode - it works fine with red and blue glasses but reduces instrument visibility somewhat.
