Just now ran into this, but haven't had time to fully check it out.  

Couple of easy questions here:

>What is this "mirror" thing you all have mentioned?

>Will Flightgear run on Windows XP (2003), 512 RAM, with an Intel card?  My XP is good with FS2002, good enough with FS2004, never had any problems.

>Can Flightgear be downloaded on my office computer, saved but not installed, can I then load it onto my home computer.  The office is a super fast DSL, home is still dial up, hence the question.

Thanks in advance.

Apex.

'Mirror' is the term given to a server that hosts the files for downloading.

Yes, if you can run FS9, you can run Flight Gear.  :)

Yes, you will be downloading setup files, A LOT of them if you're getting the entire world scenery.  You will just need a large enough storage media to store and transfer the files.

What's the source code? Should I get all the downloads for that?

The source code is the actual programing of the sim.

You only need it, if you plan on modifying the sim.  ;)

Thanks, I'm going to do the mammoth job of downloading the scenery tomorrow  :)

Thanks for the answers, ShaneG.  Looking forward to this.  Cheers.

Hopefully they won't be checking internet useage stats, if they do at all!  :-X

Waste of human flesh, those... yet the message contained no clear instance of attempt to spam (that I'm able to discern, at least), and I usually do not look for signatures unless they contain specs of people who ask for computer and/or sim help, so... :-/

Not to worry, I think the latest generation spammers are getting smarter and trying to tie in a link while making a post.                    8-)
