<!-- Add screenshots of some of the all-round well developed aircraft in FGAddon that have recent screenshots, both to motivate people that are stuck to persist and figure out aircraft installation, and to clue in people just curious about FG or reading the wiki for articles about FG (September 2020) -->

[[File:Cockpit_full.jpg|thumb|[[Space_Shuttle|Space Shuttle]] cockpit at night (Flightgear 2017.x). There are variants that start you directly in orbit to enjoy the view, on approach for training, or in piggyback mode on a carrier aircraft. The Space Shuttle uses a <!-- maybe the rest should be collapsible?--> JSBSim FDM with a 3d model of gravity used by the space industry, and gravity that changes across the shuttle. The FDM is based on detailed NASA windtunnel data. The Shuttle contains the most extensive systems in FG, and is the most detailed simulation outside NASA's internal ones. It can be flown by the NASA crew operations manual.]]

[[File:SOTM_2020-03_Winter_Evening_Departure_by_legoboyvdlp_(A320).jpg|thumb|[[Airbus_A320_Family|Airbus A320]] cockpit on a rainy night. The A320 is the glass cockpit airliner with the most detailed systems available through FGAddon as of August 2020. It features a JSBSim FDM with some offline Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Needs Flightgear 2020.1 or later. The [[Boeing_777|777]] is a Boeing glass cockpit airliner (YaSim FDM) that is well developed. (FG 2020)]]

[[File:SOTM_2018-07_Grim_reapers_take_off_by_massima.jpg|thumb|[[Grumman_F-14_Tomcat|Grumman F-14 Tomcat]] on the carrier Harry S. Truman. The carrier list can be [[Howto:Carrier#From_the_launcher_.28Version_2020.1_and_later.29|viewed]] by clicking the ship icon next to the search bar in ''location'' tab in the [[FlightGear_Qt_launcher|launcher]]. The F-14 features a JSBSim FDM with windtunnel data. Fighters with windtunnel data include [[Saab_37_Viggen|Saab Viggen]], [[McDonnell_Douglas_F-15_Eagle|F-15]], and [[General_Dynamics_F-16_Fighting_Falcon|F-16]]. (FG 2018)]]

File:SOTM-Jan19.jpg|[[Robinson_R44|Robinson R44]] is a popular training helicopter as it is inexpensive, but is hard to control. In simulations, expense does not matter. People trying a helicopter in Flightgear for the first time should try one of the other ones before the R44, unless they have a specific reason to. (FG 2019)
