@ kamelie1706 I already suggested that in the past, but seems nobody wants to be a mantainer of flightgear for community repository... I would do it if I could but my system is too old and slow to compile...

Flightgear has to be on community!

@ Potomac Thanks, I know how PKGBUILD works. However, 2019.1.1 version is NOT an official version too, it's a preview, as the official version still remains old release 2018.3.5 as you can see here: https://www.flightgear.org/ So, if a preview has already been published, why not update it? Come on, archlinux is an always updated rolling-release...

@papakilo and prescott :

2020.1.2 is not an official release, it's just a preview version,

you can update the PKGBUILD by changing these properties :

pkgver=2020.1.2

sha256sums=('SKIP')

you have also to update the PKGBUILD of simgear with the same way, and download flightgear-data

prescott commented on 2020-05-31 20:34 (UTC)

cant wait for update

papakilo commented on 2020-05-31 14:00 (UTC)

Hello, is there anyone over there? Version 2020.1.2 is out... Come on!

papakilo commented on 2020-05-22 14:57 (UTC)

Hi guys, when we will see the new version 2020.1.1?

I suggest submitters/maintainers/packagers to write a kind of PKGBUILD converter from already existant packages (https://repology.org/project/flightgear/versions) instead of a classic long-long-long time compilation PKGBUILD script. What do I mean? Have a look here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libreoffice-fresh-rpm/

Bye and have a nice day.

@Kerentin : you can download flightgear data 2019.1 from the official website : https://sourceforge.net/projects/flightgear/files/release-2019.1/FlightGear-2019.1.1-data.tar.bz2/download

then unzip the file in your home, then launch fgfs with these parameters : fgfs --fg-root=<path to flightgear-data>/fgdata --fg-scenery=<path to flightgear-data>/scenery

fg-root and fg-scenery can also be set in your ~/.bashrc file, by adding these lines :

export FG_ROOT=<path to flightgear-data>/fgdata

export FG_SCENERY=<path to flightgear-data>/scenery

and then run flightgear with the launcher : fgfs --launcher

you can also install the flightgear-data package, but I didn't tested : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/flightgear-data/

@Potomac , thanks. I was able to install it. When running it I get the error The requested location /usr/share/flightgear/data' does not appear to be a valid set of data files for Flightgear. In fact that folder does not exists. Was it supposed to be created during instillation? It provides a button to download the files. That links to https://sourceforge.net/projects/flightgear/files/release-2019.1.1/FlightGear-2019.1.1-data.tar.bz2 . The website then displays that error : The "/release-2019.1.1/Fl..019.1.1-data.tar.bz2" file could not be found or is not available. Please select another file. . What should be done?

Potomac commented on 2020-04-26 21:04 (UTC)

@Kerentin : you have to modify the PKGBUILD of simgear, see my comment here :
