 __F:__ I want to display the "Alt vs Time" chart of a Flight, but nothing happens. Please help!
-__A:__ This kind of charts are produced through [gnuplot]. In some distros (Ubuntu, to name just one), [gnuplot] binaries are split up into a base package named ___gnuplot___ and a desktop dependent package. E.g. you'll need to additionally install the package ___gnuplot-qt___ if you're a KDE user, or ___gnuplot-x11___ if you're using Unity.

Common Problems (and their Solutions)

Device connectivity

F: flyhigh refuses to talk to my Flight Device!
A: Usually, you'll connect your Flight Device through /dev/ttyUSB0, so please make sure you have sufficient access permissions to that file. In most Linux distributions you'll need to be member of the dialout group, and your're all set. See your distros' documentation how to check and edit group membership.

Flight analysis
