This Blog is going to be my exploits of going from a total flight simulator noob to... well where ever it may lead.
When I started a few month ago I'd never played/Flown a aircraft simulator, well once upon a time on a ZX Spectrum but that is totally a different kettle of fish.
My system is a Debian Jessie, amd64 rig with
KDE Desktop Environment
Nvidia gtx 550 ti
16 GB of RAM
250GB HDD Root/System
2TB HDD Home.
First thing I did was set up my Debian system to use the NVIDIA drivers
as per the Debian/Nvidia Wiki as X-Plane can't/won't run with Intel graphics No matter how good they are under linux rebooted, Then visit www.x-plane.org and downloaded the demo and signed up for the news letter (and claim my 5 free extra aircraft, the new letter also gave me tips and tricks for using X-Plane).
After downloading a few GB of game data for the area surrounding the demo air field, it is a simple task of running the executable in the download folder.
