Description Chris Denice 2021-06-12 17:33:02 CEST 
Simgear, flightgear and flightgear-data 2020.3.9 landing in updates_testing.

To test, install them, and, in a terminal enter:

fgfs --launcher

Play around. If you want to fly a plane, don't forget to allow "enabling terrasync", which downloads the scenery where you start. If you don't, you'll be in water.

Tested in an Mga8-64 Plasma system.

I had played with this over a year ago in M7, but have forgotten most of what I learned then. Undaunted, I installed Flightgear and dependencies, the updated the above packages using qarepo. 

Then I started it from a terminal using the suggested command. There was lots of verbiage in the terminal as the simulation initialized, but it didn't crash, and eventually the gui was displayed. I "played around," trying this and that without trying to actually start any aircraft and fly. Everything seems to work as it should, though I get the feeling my experience would be better if I had a joystick.

Giving this an OK, and validating. Advisory in Comment 0.

Translated with google translation:

Hello,

I tested with Mageia 64 KDE, an ATI3870 graphics card, all Mageia updates done.
This version 2020.3.9 works perfectly.
no bug found.
This version seems more fluid to me, or in any case, with an even better graphics with the ALS rendering.

(Note that I did not update, but erased everything, which was linked to 2020.3.8 (even the hidden folder in my home .fgfs) and completely reinstalled, to leave with a clean profile because I had fiddled with the options too much)

Bonjour, 

J'ai testé avec Mageia 64 KDE, une carte graphique ATI3870, toutes les mises à jour de Mageia faites.
Cette version 2020.3.9 fonctionne parfaitement.
aucun bug constaté.
Cette version me semble plus fluide, ou en tous cas, avec un graphisme encore amélioré avec le rendu ALS.

(A noter que que je n'ai pas fait de mise à jour, mais tout effacé, ce qui était lié à la 2020.3.8 (même le dossier caché dans mon home .fgfs) et réinstallé complétement,  pour repartir avec un profil propre car j'avais trop bidouillé les options)
