NAME

fgviewer - An alternative FlightGear viewer application

SYNOPSIS

fgviewer [--fg-root rootdir] [--fg-scenery scenerydir] [--config configfile] [--prop property value] [--renderer rend] [--hla] [--federation fed]

DESCRIPTION

fgviewer is a viewer application that allows you to examine FlightGear scenery and objects without starting fgfs(1).

OPTIONS

--fg-root rootdir: Set the FlightGear data root directory ($FG_ROOT) to rootdir. If this option is not set, fgviewer uses the path specified in the FG_ROOT environment variable or, absent that, the FlightGear data directory chosen at the time the program was compiled.
--fg-scenery scenerydir: Set the FlightGear scenery directory ($FG_SCENERY) to scenerydir. If this option is not set, fgviewer uses the path specified in the FG_SCENERY environment variable or, absent that, the Scenery subdirectory inside $FG_ROOT.
--config configfile: Read configuration directives from configfile.
--prop property value: Set the property named property to value.
--renderer rend: Use the renderer named rend to render the scenery. This option is currently not supported.
--hla: Enable HLA federation.
--federation fed: Enable a custom federation named fed.

EXIT STATUS

fgviewer exits with EXIT_SUCCESS on success, with EXIT_FAILURE if the syntax of the command-line arguments is wrong or an error occurs.

ENVIRONMENT

FG_ROOT: If FG_ROOT is set and --fg-root is not set, it specifies the root data directory to use.
FG_SCENERY: If FG_SCENERY is set and --fg-scenery is not set, it specifies the scenery directory to use.

FILES
