However, there is a hesitancy to answer questions which are documented and it starts to become apparent that the person didn’t take any time to read the documentation. As with any opensource program, no one is ever hesitant to answer questions for noobs.

For all the questions which I reeled off at the end, goto and bookmark. If you’re having questions on installing planes, you’ll soon wonder about scenery, painting your planes, why there’s a extra person sitting in your cockpit in certain planes, why is my framerate slow, what GPUs are… (Note, I’ve not yet run out of questions or answers in over 6 months of reading and using FlightGear. I would first start here: - this is the getting started/ FlightGear manual.

Now, without this sounding like I’m just being hard to get along with, and hopefully the fact I took the time to explain your question will go to that, I urge, beg of, plead with you to read, read, read, the documentation, wiki’s, etc. To do the latter, from the initial screen, choose “Advanced Features”, then select the “Others” tab and, finally, at the bottom of that screen, select “Install Addon Data”. Either use the “Browse Application Settings” and copy the aircraft folder to the appropriate location or use the FlightGear Application. Once you have it on the Mac, you have 2 choices. To download - simply pick an aircraft from above and download the zip file to your Mac.
