FlightGear security

Background

With the support for multiple hangar definitions in the launcher, users are going to be encouraged to download aircraft by the convenience of just being able to click on a button. I know that I'm not going to be able to judge the safety of Bob's Brilliant Hangar and the aircraft inside. So I am going to rely on the security we provide within FG itself to ensure that the aircraft aren't going to nuke user-level data, and to a lesser extent read the contents of my home directory. I don't think it's sufficient to rely on users having set permissions correctly. — Stuart Buchanan (Feb 9th, 2016). Re: [Flightgear-devel] access denied (unauthorized directory).
