I downloaded the latest release of FlightGear (1.0.0-r150) tonight on my G5 running Leopard and although it will now launch for me it takes well over 2 minutes to do so. Activity monitor shows the process as hung and the following message appears in the console:
FlightGear[723] RBCocoaInstallRubyThreadSchedulerHooks: couldn't find autoreleasePool ivar
After this the process is monitored by the system:
/usr/sbin/spindump[725] process 723 is being monitored

I guess no one else is getting this problem then?
I can play the game after my few minutes wait for the launcher the start. I've noticed the following error in the console as well:
06/01/2008 19:28:58 [0x0-0x3d03d0].net.sourceforge.macflightgear[8191] /Games/FlightGear.app/Contents/Resources/FlightGearController.rb:30:in `initialize': Ruby threads cannot be used in RubyCocoa without patches to the Ruby interpreter

Don't cross post it to another forum though. You can however feel free to bump your post often until you get a response. PM Frost, he is a big flight sim guy.

Unfortunately I did not even know FlightGear existed ( 
). I'll have to download it and check it out.

When there's a multiplayer version, I'm going to be on Frost's team. Well, except he doesn't seem to actually need a team...I mean, what's the point? "Hey look, it's Frost and His Merry Gang of Useless Hangers-On!" Or something.

It is worth a look if you haven't tried it. I've just purchased X-Plane 9 so haven't played with it much again lately but for a Freeware title it is rather good. The delay and error is strange as the game does work just fine once the launcher bit gets running. The website talks about installing Ruby on older version of OS X but says it is already there in Leopard and that the game is OK with Leopard.
