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

s/id/is/ Also checked the anaglyphic stereo mode - it works fine with red and blue glasses but reduces instrument visibility somewhat.
Thanks Len. Advisory from comment 1. Validating.
