Comment 2 Douglas 2017-12-10 20:23:48 UTC
I just noticed that "/usr/share/applications/org.flightgear.FlightGear.desktop" which has the line "Exec=fgfs --launcher" is the GUI launcher for FlightGear, while the other icon takes you inside the simulator automatically.

It seems to me that the solution is to hide the launcher at "/usr/share/applications/FlightGear.desktop"

I can hide it myself with "Hidden=true", but it will keep showing up whenever FlightGear updates.

This way, only one icon remains, and that is the one launching the pretty setup screen instead of just taking you directly in without choosing location, weather, airplane and such.
