2024.1.2 is here. Not sure what happened with upstream these days, I was expecting them to publish this new release on https://gitlab.com/flightgear/fgmeta/-/releases, instead they used the gitlab package registry: https://gitlab.com/flightgear/fgmeta/-/packages

Additionally, the svg icon in the AppImage appears to be blank (reported on GNOME and KDE Plasma), unlike the svg in their repo... You can reproduce this: download AppImage from official source https://www.flightgear.org/download/, then extract with

chmod +x flightgear-2024.1.2-linux-amd64.AppImage
./flightgear-2024.1.2-linux-amd64.AppImage --appimage-extract usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/flightgear.svg
cd squashfs-root/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/

A quick fix for the moment is to download the icon directly from upstream and replace the faulty one in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/

@hildekaa yes, you're right. I had it on my system as a dependency for other packages so I never noticed.

btw 2024.1.1 is around the corner, they include a custom fork of openscenegraph in the release candidate AppImage so I'll drop that dependency when updating.

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding something (I'm pretty new to all this), but shouldn't the fuse2 package be among the dependencies? I can't run the appimage without it.

I've already tested the AppImage for 2024.1.1 rc3 from https://gitlab.com/flightgear/fgmeta/-/releases without issues. Ping here if you'd like to update before the official AppImage is released or wait till then (upstream mentioned it shouldn't take long).
