"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). Find another drive / folder where you as logged in user have all neccesary right to read, write and execute the files you installed. Additionally there's a space / blank in folder's name which could cause weird behaviour. Use something like "C:\FlightGear". | "Modern" Windows Versions (e.g. XP, Vista, Win7) tinkering a lot with user rights on access level.

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]]. Remember that the latest aircraft may not load with previous versions, so look for older aircraft in the links section. | If you are looking for information to decide what aircraft to download, try [[Table of models]] or [[Aircraft]].
