Linux x86 & x86_64 RPM

Discussion/support thread is here.

This application converts MS Flight Simulator 2004 and FSX add-on scenery packages to X-Plane DSF overlay scenery packages. It runs on Windows 2000 or later, Mac OS 10.3.9 or later, and Linux.

The resulting X-Plane scenery packages work under X-Plane 8.64 and later on Windows, Mac OS and Linux. Standard "ENV" or "DSF" global scenery for the relevant areas must also have been installed.

Users of MacOS 10.3 must install wxPython 2.5.3 or later (you don't need to install MacPython - it's already installed on 10.3).

Users of Fedora Linux or Ubuntu must downgrade to a stable version of PyOpenGL: Fedora 7, Fedora 8, Ubuntu Gutsy & Hardy.
