-- Windows Vista and Windows 7 should be included.

 Historically, FlightGear was based on a flight model it inherited (together
 with the Navion airplane) from LaRCsim.
- comment
-- The word "FDM" is used without spelling out in Chapter 1.
-- Here, "flight model" --> "flight dynamics model (FDM)" might be better.

 More details of the UIUC flight model can be found at

** Chapter 2 [#mef3a6d6]
*** 2.1 [#l35db295]
 For Mac OS X, it is usually either
 /Applications/FlightGear.app/Contents/Resources/data/Scenery. 
- comment
-- I think the word "either" should be deleted.

*** 2.1.2 [#f6f28f17]
 If the installation via the GUI launcher failure for some reason,
 you still have an alternative way to install the data. 
- comment
-- I can't find verb in if sentence.
Probably, "failure" (noun) should be "fail" (verb).

 Opening the data folder by pressing "Open data folder" on the Others
 tab will pop up an Finder window for the data folder. 
- comment
-- It seems a little bit redundant.
-- My suggestion:
--- Pressing "Open data folder" on the Others tab will pop up an Finder window for the data folder. 

*** 2.1.4 [#a44def01]
 If you are using Mac OS X 10.5, The GUI launcher automatically
 specifies -S if svn is available. 
- comment
-- "Mac OS X 10.5" only? Or "Mac OS X 10.5 and later"?

*** 2.2 [#tdfea740]
 You can download aircraft from
 http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/aircraft/index.shtml
- comment
-- No longer available at aircraft/index.shtml.
-- For v2.0.0 aircraft: http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/aircraft-2.0.0/
-- Toward next release, we should ask to Curt where he is planning to locate next version of aircraft page.

 Simply download the file and uncompress it into the data/Aircraft
 subdirectory of your installation.
 ----
 Once you have uncompressed them, there will be a new sub-directory
 in your data/Aircraft directory containing the aircraft. 
- comment
-- Some platform don't have "data" directory.
Is there a better common description so that it matches to the location for major linux distributions?
--- Ubuntu: /usr/share/games/FlightGear/Aircraft
--- Fedora: /usr/share/FlightGear/Aircraft 

 Most of the packages named above include the complete FlightGear
 documentation including a PDF version of The FlightGear Manual
 intended for pretty printing using Adobe's Acrobat Reader,
 available from
 http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/
- comment
-- "Acrobat Reader" is old name. It's current name is "Adobe Reader".
-- http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/ should be http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html , because former refers to non-free acrobat product and the latter is what we want.

** Chapter 3 [#l03c118f]
*** 3.1 [#u98dafc3]
 There are two environment variables that must be defined to run FlightGear.
- comment
-- The word "must" is not correct, because --fg-root and --fg-scenery options can be used instead of environment variables.

*** 3.1.1 [#se73a270]
 This is the data subdirectory of where you installed FlightGear.
- comment
-- Some platform don't have the directory named "data".
Is there a better common description so that it matches to the location for major linux distributions?
--- Ubuntu: /usr/share/games/FlightGear/Aircraft
--- Fedora: /usr/share/FlightGear/Aircraft 

***3.1.3 [#v4139ebc]
 The graphical wizard on Windows and the GUI launcher on Mac OS X
 internally define these environment variables...
- comment
-- This is not correct, because --fg-root and --fg-scenery options are used instead of environment variables.

***3.2 [#za674c51]
 FG_HOME=/usr/local/share/FlightGear
 ----
 setenv FG_HOME=/usr/local/share/FlightGear
- comment
-- It might be better to describe what FG_HOME means.

***3.3.1 [#ya29d2af]
 SET FG_HOME="c:\Program Files\FlightGear"
 SET FG_ROOT="c:\Program Files\FlightGear\data"
 SET FG_SCENERY="c:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Scenery"
- Wrong format
-- fgfs.exe don't allow quoted path name with the letter " in environment variable (not in command-line options).
-- Correct format (what I have confirmed to run correctly) is:

 SET FG_SCENERY=c:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Scenery

 fgfs --option1 --option2... Command-line options are described

 Entering space-separated options as shown in Figure 11 will pass
 additional options to FlightGear. 
- comment
-- "Figure 11" is not included in the Manual.
So, delete sentence of "as shown in Figure 11".

 Mac OS X,

*** 2.1 [#p283aa51]
 For Windows, this directory is likely to be
 c:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Scenery. 
- 要検討(軽微)
-- c:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Scenery と、
c:\Program Files\FlightGear\Scenery のどちらが適切だろうか? -- toshi
--- 本家 wiki の記述では前者
--- インストーラ同梱の "Install & Uninstall Scenery" (fgadmin.exe)のデフォルトのインストール先は後者
--- デフォルトでインストールした場合、優先されるのは前者~
fgfs の起動時オプション: --fg-scenery=C:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Scenery;C:\Program Files\FlightGear\scenery;C:\Program Files\FlightGear\terrasync
--- 前者に入れる場合、ベースパッケージのシーナリー(サンフランシスコ周辺のみ)と混在
--- どちらでも特に問題になることはないと思うけど、fgadminのデフォルトの挙動とマニュアルの記述が異なるのがちょっと気になる
--- 「シーナリーのインストール先は各人の好みで・・・」とした場合、初心者のトラブル解決の妨げになりそうなので、「推奨」例を提示しておくのが無難だと思います。-- sambar
--- コメントありがとうございます。c:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Scenery と c:\Program Files\FlightGear\Scenery のどちらを推奨するのが適切なのか、というのが私の疑問点です。-toshi

 To install the scenery, uncompress the tarball into the Scenery
 directory. Most operating system provide tools to uncompress tarballs.
 If you cannot uncompress the tarball, install an extractor program such
 as 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/. 
- Typo
 (http://www.7-zip.org/).
~or?
 (http://www.7-zip.org/.)
---これは前者です。
---了解です。ありがとうございます。-toshi
- 要検討(軽微)
-- なぜ fgadmin.exe を使ったシーナリーのインストール方法について触れないのか? 
文字化けするから? -toshi

 Once you have uncompressed the tarball, the Terrain and Objects direcories
 will contain additional sub-directories with your new scenery inside. 
- Typo
-- direcories --> directories

*** 2.1.2 [#ua6f823f]
 2.1.2  FG_SCENERY
- 要検討
-- FG_SCENERYよりも、--fg-scenery を使う人の方が多いのでは?

 This is where FlightGear looks for Scenery files. It consists of a list of
 directories that will be searched in order. The directories are separated by
 “:” on Unix and “;” on Windows. 
- 要検討
-- Macは?

*** 2.1.3 [#fcbb2571]
 -atlas=socket,out,1,localhost,5505,udp
- tex conversion issue
--  --atlas=socket,out,1,localhost,5505,udp

 Note that TerraSync (when called with the "-S" command line switch, as
 recommended) is going to download Scenery via the Subversion protocol over
 HTTP. Thus, is your Internet access is set up to use a HTTP proxy, plase make
 yourself aware how to configure the "libsvn" Subversion client for use of a
 proxy.
- Typo
-- is your Internet access is --> if your Internet access is

*** 2.1.4 [#u99edea3]

** 2.2 [#bc4aeb3b]
 Simply download the file and uncompress it into the data/Aircraft subdirectory
 of your installation. 
- 要検討
-- ディストリビューションによっては、"data"という名前のサブディレクトリは存在しない場合がある。

 If you are successful, there will be a new sub-directory in your
 FG_ROOT/data/Aircraft directory containing the aircraft.
- 要検討
-- FG_ROOT/Aircraft あるいは $FG_ROOT/Aircraft では?
-- FG_ROOT はここで初出。第3章に説明があることを記載するのが望ましい。

 The aircraft are downloaded as .tar.gz files.
- 要修正
-- .tar.gz --> .zip

 Some computers will download them as .tar.gz.zip files. If so, simply rename
 the file to .tar.gz before uncompressing them.
- 要削除

* Chapter 3 [#p60238a2]
** 3.1 [#l0371d75]
 There are two environmental variables that must be defined to run FlightGear. 
- 要検討
-- 環境変数の設定は"must"ではない。
-- むしろ、コマンドラインオプションで指定するのが一般的では?

*** 3.1.1 [#v921adc8]
 This is the data subdirectory of where you installed FlightGear. e.g.
 /usr/local/share/FlightGear/data or c:\Program  Files\FlightGear\data.

- 1.0.0 は Pentium III で本当に十分に動作するのだろうか?
- 1.0.0 を動作させるには 256MB のVRAM は欲しいところ
- 1.0.0 のバイナリとベースパッケージをインストールには 400MB 程の空きディスク容量が必要 (Mac 版の場合)
- 1.0.0 を開発するには、コード、データ、オブジェクトファイル等を含め1.5GB 必要 (Mac版; 多いなぁ)
- CVS 版を開発するには、コード、データ、オブジェクトファイル等を含め3.5GB 必要(Mac 版; どんだけ〜)
