Flightgear problem

[Omecron]

I am wanting to install some planes to fly and the directory I need to put them in I can not change as my normal lowly user self. I know I can go to terminal and sudo then copy everything, but is there a way I can use a GUI and be sudo then just turn it off.

Please don't think me lazy, I am just getting addicted to flightgear and I see this becoming a daily thing :D

I swear I do think I ran a GUI as sudo somehow way back, but I had been going back to XP to play games with my wife. XP finally got so bad with SP3 she gave her blessing for Linux and I am here, but my memory just stinks....

Making the Aircraft folder writable to you would save you sudoing efforts. I usually do that for games, even if its not the perfect, secure unix-like way yet I dont care much about that when it comes to directories containing game files.

sudo chown `whoami` [[ flightgear dir/Aircraft ]]

Unfortunately, fgfs doesn't support deploying game data files in your home dir.... which would have been the perfect userland solution and is an option for many games
