Flightgear

I installed the flightgear, flightgear-data and flightgear-atlas packages. My problem is that I cannot figure out how to run it. I can't seem to find an executable file. Is there something else I need to install, or am I missing something? Thanks.

Re: Flightgear

I guess it's installed into /opt, right? In order to have the executable in the PATH, you need to re-login.

edit: Nope, that might have been wrong. The executable lies in /usr/bin and is called fgfs. For the future, you can tell pacman to show you what files are installed with

pacman -Ql $PACKAGE

With a pipe and grep you can filter binaries

pacman -Ql flightgear | grep bin

That's the way I always do this.

Re: Flightgear

Thanks. It was call fgfs. I was looking for the wrong things in the wrong places. Thanks for telling me about the commands also.
