"Modern" Windows Versions (e.g. XP, Vista, Win7) tinkering a lot with user rights on access level. Therefore it's a bad idea to install and run FlightGear to and from "C:\Program Files" (German: C:\Programme).

If you are looking for information to decide what aircraft to download, try [[Table of models]] or [[Aircraft]]. External links to third=party aircraft can be found at [[FlightGear hangars]].
