Hi there.

I downloaded the demo zip file and once extracted I chmoded FPVFreerider_demo.x86_64 and FPVFreerider_demo.x86.

user@computer:~$ sudo chmod +x FPVFreerider_demo.x86*

After that I tried to launch the 64bits version. But it fails :

user@computer:~$ ./FPVFreerider_demo.x86_64
Set current directory to /home/user
Found path: /home/user/FPVFreerider_demo.x86_64
Mono path[0] = '/home/user/FPVFreerider_demo_Data/Managed'
Mono path[1] = '/home/user/FPVFreerider_demo_Data/Mono'
Mono config path = '/home/user/FPVFreerider_demo_Data/Mono/etc'
displaymanager : xrandr version warning. 1.4
displaymanager : trying .X11-unix
client :0 has 1 screens
displaymanager screen (0): 1366 x 768

I also installed libxrandr2:i386 and tried to run the 32 bits version :

user@computer:~$ sudo apt-get install libxrandr2:i386
user@computer:~$ ./FPVFreerider_demo.x86

But it fails too :

user@computer:~$ ./FPVFreerider_demo.x86
Set current directory to /home/user
Found path: /home/user/FPVFreerider_demo.x86
Mono path[0] = '/home/user/FPVFreerider_demo_Data/Managed'
Mono path[1] = '/home/user/FPVFreerider_demo_Data/Mono'
Mono config path = '/home/user/FPVFreerider_demo_Data/Mono/etc'

Each time the screen blink black very fast, like if something is going to run. But nothing happens.

I have no controllers attached to the computer.

The exact same problem occurs with FPV Freerider Recharged demo.

What should I try?


My config:

user@computer:~$ uname -a
Linux computer 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1 (2016-12-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux
user@computer:~$ lspci

Hopefully some Linux guru will be able to chime in. (I'm not a Linux user myself)

It you are a member at the RCGroups forum you might have better luck there, I know there are some knowledgeable linux guys around there.

Solved. The solution was to add -force-opengl to the program when running in command line

user@computer:~$ ./FPVFreerider_demo.x86_64 -force-opengl

Glad to hear that you managed to solve it. Thanks for sharing the solution, I'm sure that might be of help to others!

Thanks so much for this hint, now I can play the simulator on my Linux computer!
