FlightGear Scenery & Airports Questions & Answers

FlightGear scenery problems often come down to incomplete downloads, the wrong scenery path or TerraSync being unable to write to its cache. These guides show how to enable and verify TerraSync, inspect folders and logs, resolve blank or missing terrain, and distinguish streamed scenery from manually installed packages. They also explain which changes require a restart.

Beyond repairs, the hub compares notable airports and scenery packs and covers terrain detail, object density, vegetation, buildings and visibility settings. The aim is to balance visual quality against loading time, memory use and frame rate without hiding important airport features. Answers are written and tested by the Fly Away team, with version differences called out when menus or directory layouts have changed.
