Re: [Paparazzi-devel] FlightGear Running on Host While Paparazzi in VMWare

[Chris Gough]

Clarification: I found Flightgear unusable in the VM, so moved it to the host 
(debian) and was underwhelmed by the improvement at first. Host is Asus laptop 
with NVIDA graphics, but I was using the free graphics drivers that were 
distributed/installed with debian, and they were only margially better than the 
VirtualBox VM. After installing the appropriate NVIDA drivers for the hardware 
and building a new kernel, it ran much better.

It's not the case that I got it working well in the VM, I never really tried.
