Hi,

You should be in the directory where you want to have the fgdata 
directory, i.e. git creates fgdata in the current directory.
Cloning will download about 2.5GB of data so it will take a good while.
If gitorious is slow you can also clone from
http://mapserver.flightgear.org/git/fgdata

FlightGear should be ready to run at that point. Use the 
--fg-root=/path/to/fgdata
argument to point FlightGear to the fgdata directory - it probably won't 
find it otherwise.

Cheers,

Anders
