Thanks Gareth, this solved the problem! I wish I had come to this solution by myself - it seems so obvious now: "find the games-folder". Although I guess that I might have missed a file named "fgfs"  when looking for FlightGear. I wonder why it's not named "flightgear" - then no one would have to guess.

Thank you Jim too for your answer!

P.S. Those quoted part's of the message look like a mess - maybe they would come out better if I used Evolution instead of the webmail I'm using now - I guess i'll try.
