Tools for creating, managing and editing FlightGear scenery, aircraft, …
Installation
To run these scripts you need Python 3, Python 2 won't work. Recommended version is 3.8 as I only have that installed so couldn't test with any other versions - earlier 3.x versions should work, but no guarantee !
Linux
Download / git clone this repo and put it in a place of your choice, say /home/user/fgtools. With git clone, you would use this command:
/home/user$ git clone https://github.com/TheFGFSEagle/fgtools
Before you run the scripts you have to make sure that the folder containing this repository on your local disk (here /home/user) is inside your PYTHONPATH environment variable, or you must run the scripts from inside the fgtools folder. To add the folder to your PYTHONPATH, use this command:
export PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/home/user"
Note: this is lost when you close the terminal / console, so you have to run this command every time you open a new console and run the scripts from it. To make the change persistent, add the command to the end of the .profile file in your home folder.

I don't have Windows so cannot provide any instructions - contributions by Windows users welcome !
