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

[Stephen Dwyer]

Hello,

Did you make sure to save fg.c and do a make clean; make before trying
it again? This has always worked for me (make sure when you actually
got the unix time it was daylight outside). I haven't tried the
timeofday flag.

Thanks,
-Stephen Dwyer
