The latest official [[aircraft]] can be downloaded at [http://www.flightgear.org/download/ FlightGear.org Aircraft], which then usually 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]]. | |||
