NAME

       fgfsrc - FlightGear command-line options file

DESCRIPTION

       fgfsrc is a file containing command-line options read by fgfs(1) at startup. This file is meant for those
       people  who  do  not  use a graphical launcher to run the simulator, so that they will be able to specify
       most preferences that do not change often there (for example, custom scenery/aircraft locations or screen
       size options), and only those frequently modified (like the starting airport) on the command line.

       The file must be in plain-text format and ASCII-encoded. It must contain one or more command-line options
       listed in fgfs(1); each option must be given on a separate line.

       If the first non-whitespace character in a line is an octothorpe  (#),  fgfs(1)  treats  the  line  as  a
       comment  and  ignores  it.  Comments  should  not  be added after an option, because that might cause the
       simulator to fail under some conditions (notably, when the command-line argument given on the line is  of
       the form --prop=).

       Variables in paths, like $HOME or $FG_HOME, are not expanded.

FILES

       ~/.fgfsrc.hostname, ~/.fgfsrc
           Configuration  files  containing command-line options for fgfs(1).  The simulator parses command-line
           arguments first, then ~/.fgfsrc.hostname (where hostname is the hostname of  the  machine)  and  then
           ~/.fgfsrc, if they exist, in that order.

EXAMPLE

       The following example configuration file synchronizes the simulator clock with the local real-world time,
       loads real-world weather data, sets the window size to 1024x768 and enables random scenery objects and AI
       traffic:

       --time-match-local
       --enable-real-weather-fetch
       --geometry=1024x768
       --enable-random-objects
       --enable-ai-traffic
