Re: [Jsbsim-users] Startup problem -- finding the script file

[Rex du P. <rex...@gm...>]

Bertrand,

It turns out I that what I was trying to load was not a script file, but a
set of starting conditions.

My real problem is getting the file structure right.  The current message
turned out to be an initfile, but the program cannot find it..

I would like to start from a clean linux install with a simple file
structure that would have the program in one folder and all the data in a
second folder (like fgdata/Aircraft, etc.)
But your site does not seem to have a linux-ready download that I can start
from.

I am currently trying to run the JSBSim from a full Flightgear install form
a script and the file system is defeating me.

We have operated for years with a dual computer system with a scenery
computer that is taking a vector of flight data from an "engineering"
computer that operates from a realtime linux
system, because we may want to run real servos as part of a development
process.  All this is in a full scale cockpit with control console and
stick as control inputs.

the problem is that an old "scenery" computer died and we want to put up
the more modern scenery anyway.

Neither computer is online to preserve our engineering details.  The
project is the dp2 project hat you describe in our Manual.

Is there a source from which I could get an installable linux version of
standalone JSBSim?  We would like to keep it as simple as we can.

Thank you for responding so promptly,

Rex du Pont
