#20 script file
Jon,
We are back to trying to update our JSBSim. I don't know you were quoting our project in the Manual!
I am trying to get the most recent verison started in ubuntu, and you have changed a number of things
since last I worked on it. Specifically, I don't know how the current expected file system and script work.
I have compiled from the latest download_and_compile script, and had a problem starting fgfs (some qT ownership glitch) and then I tried straight JSBSim, which is what we always used.
It hangs for lack of a script. The dp2 folder is under .../flightgear/Aircraft. It has an old reset00.xml script that currently gives the locatoin data, attitucde and wind. But I am not quite sure how to connect this to the program, which is in the /bin directory, which is at the same level as fgdata.
Please give me an idea of what to do. We are still alive and need to do some simulations.
Thank you,
Rex du Pont
Hi Rex,
Use option
--root=/path/to/your/aircraft/datawhen running JSBSim stand alone. Note that it expects the aircraft data to be located in a directory named aircraft under the root you passed with--rootoption. Similarly the engine specifications must be located in a directory engine under the root.If you execute JSBSim with no options in a console, it will display the available options.
