The latest official [[aircraft]] can be downloaded and installed with a single click through the aircraft tab in the [[FlightGear Qt launcher|built-in launcher]]. This article describes the manual process, only to be performed when not using the launcher. | |||

Aircraft packages are available on [http://www.flightgear.org/download/ FlightGear.org Aircraft]. These require unzipping software to extract from a compressed file format. Then these must be manually installed in a FlightGear software installation to use. The details depend on the method of download, operating system, and user setup. | |||
Alternatively if you are using the [[FlightGear Build Server|nightly builds]] or a [[Building FlightGear|version controlled copy of FlightGear]], or you wish to manage your aircraft collection using version control tools, the aircraft can be obtained directly from the [[FGAddon|official FlightGear aircraft repository - FGAddon]]. | |||

External links to third party aircraft can be found at [[FlightGear hangars]]. Remember that the latest aircraft may not load with previous versions. If you happen to use an older version of FlightGear, look for older aircraft in the links section. | External links to third party aircraft can be found at [[FlightGear hangars]].
