FlightGear 1.9.1 has been released
FlightGear 1.9.1 for Mac OS X has been released. This release is a bug-fix version of 1.9.0, and only binaries and the GUI launcher are updated. Therefore, the data and aircraft are the same as 1.9.0. You can download the package from Downloads page, as always. See below for further information on this update.
The bugs fixed in this releases includes:
- Black box showed up on some video card (Rarely happens on Macs)
- Possible segmentation fault while flying
- Some causes of possible NaN (Not a Number) errors while flying (that may freeze the simulator)
- Flickers on 3Dclouds (I'm not sure it this fix completely eliminates flickers but it seems OK to me).
- FlightGear crashes on some Macs with NVIDIA graphic chips
- Some other minor bugs.
The GUI launcher bug fixes and modifications are shown as follows:
- Fixed: Archived aircraft couldn't be installed properly
- Fixed: FlightGear couldn't start if the path for FlightGear.app contains one or more white space
- Fixed: Some other minor bugs in installer (e.g. archived GUI-Updater was not installed properly)
- Changed: No more alias for data folder under <Home>/Documents/FlightGear/1.9.0 (since you can open data folder via the GUI launcher)
Mac only update:
- terrasync (on-the-fly scenery downloader) internally uses subversion libraries for Tiger and Leopard users.
Have a nice flight.
