Aircraft in FlightGear are often distributed from a hangar. The official FlightGear hangar is called FGAddon and it contains hundreds of aircraft at different stages of development (including aircraft from up to 20 years ago). Many aircraft are also distributed via 3rd-party hangars.

Licensing

The FGAddon hangar is distributed using the GPLv2+ licensing terms - see the official FlightGear policy document. Third party hangars are free to license their content as they wish.

Caution  If licensing violations are found in a 3rd party hangar - including copying images, sounds, 3D objects or any other content that cannot be legally copied, or any non-legal licensing combinations - the FlightGear developers reserve the right to remove all mentions of that hangar from the official FlightGear web infrastructure (wiki, forum, mailing lists, etc.). The advertisement of illegal content via the official infrastructure could lead to legal problems for the FlightGear developers.

Aircraft downloads

All official release aircraft can now be individually downloaded and updated with FlightGear itself. This is a nice way to browse new aircraft and make sure your favorites are always kept up to date.

Aircraft development

The FGAddon version controlled repository contains in-development aircraft as well as aircraft tagged for FlightGear 3.4 and higher stable releases.

Aircraft catalogues

If a hangar provides a catalog URL file (catalog.xml), it can be added to the FlightGear QtLauncher to display all the aircraft of that hangar. You add the URL to the catalog.xml on the Add-ons page in the Aircraft hangars section.

For details on how to create your own catalog.xml file, see Hangar catalog.
