Welcome to the Flight Gear project.


Starting the executable
=======================

Unix:    runfg
Windows: runfg.bat

"runfg" is a script which sets the FG_ROOT environment variable, then
runs the flight gear executable.


Keyboard controls
=================

Flying is mainly done via the numeric keypad.  There is some
unresolved wierdness with the GLUT libraries and keyboard input, so
for now, the state of the "Num Lock" key is important.

Num Lock Active
---------------

    Pg Up/Pg Dn             Throttle
    Left Arrow/Right Arrow  Aileron
    Up Arrow/Down Arrow     Elevator
    Ins/Del                 Rudder
    "5"                     Center aileron/elevator/rudder
    Home/End                Elevator Trim

Num Lock Inactive
-----------------
    Shift + <Numeric Keypad Key>   Change view

    where key is one of:

    8 = forward
    7 = left/forward
    4 = left
    1 = left/back
    2 = back
    3 = right/back
    6 = right
    9 = right/forward
