6 fgfsrc - FlightGear command-line options file
7
9 fgfsrc is a file containing command-line options read by fgfs(1) at
10 startup. This file is meant for those people who do not use a graphical
11 launcher to run the simulator, so that they will be able to specify
12 most preferences that do not change often there (for example, custom
13 scenery/aircraft locations or screen size options), and only those fre‐
14 quently modified (like the starting airport) on the command line.
15 The file must be in plain-text format and ASCII-encoded. It must con‐
17 tain one or more command-line options listed in fgfs(1); each option
18 must be given on a separate line.
19 If the first non-whitespace character in a line is an octothorpe (#),
21 fgfs(1) treats the line as a comment and ignores it. Comments should
22 not be added after an option, because that might cause the simulator to
23 fail under some conditions (notably, when the command-line argument
24 given on the line is of the form --prop=).
25 Variables in paths, like $HOME or $FG_HOME, are not expanded.

29 ~/.fgfsrc.hostname, ~/.fgfsrc
30 Configuration files containing command-line options for fgfs(1).
31 The simulator parses command-line arguments first, then ~/.fgf‐
32 src.hostname (where hostname is the hostname of the machine) and
33 then ~/.fgfsrc, if they exist, in that order.
34
36 The following example configuration file synchronizes the simulator
37 clock with the local real-world time, loads real-world weather data,
38 sets the window size to 1024x768 and enables random scenery objects and
39 AI traffic:
40 --time-match-local
42 --enable-real-weather-fetch
43 --geometry=1024x768
44 --enable-random-objects
45 --enable-ai-traffic
