Aircraft are listed by completeness status in Category:Aircraft by status. So as you approach a tile, firstly the terrain mesh will be loaded, then the trees and then the scenery objects. Their development is dependent on the volunteers who worked on them, with exception of some University and Government funded projects. The PagedLoD is a piece of OSG code that will automatically load the required scenery when it comes into view and within the required range, then unload it if required when it goes out of view/range. Some models shown here are available from non-official hangars.įlightGear aircraft features, quality, and compatibility vary significantly. Alternatively these aircraft can be obtained directly from the official FlightGear aircraft repository - FGAddon (when using the nightly builds or a version controlled copy of FlightGear, or managing an aircraft collection using version control tools). FlightGear boasts the most advanced animated jetways in the flight simulator market, beating those of Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane in features a testament to the flexibility of FlightGear. Most models shown here are available from the official FlightGear project and can be downloaded at, with installation typically requiring an unzipping program and manual installation in the FlightGear aircraft directory. Animated jetways are dynamic jetway models that connect to your aircraft when you are pulled up at a gate. See Table of models for a more comprehensive list. If you prefer to download aircraft manually, you can download additional aircraft here. There can be more than one scenery path in the variable, for example one path to to TerraSync scenery and one path to custom scenery.
seems very strange to me,as if it is broken.This list is not updated to include all the official GPL licensed aircraft for FlightGear, but gives a visual sampling of the different types of aircraft and genres of aircraft officially available. FlightGear determines what scenery to use by looking at the environment variable (setting)FG SCENERY. The project used the data from CORINE database for the land classes, OpenStreetMap for the landmass and roads and the enhanced altitudes by Jonathan de Ferranti. When i restart afterwards on the standard airport Honolulu, also there is no scenery anymore. Prior to the release of the 2.0 scenery in TerraSync, we maintained a custom scenery for the continental territories of Spain, Portugal, Andorra and Gibraltar. What could also be important: When i installed the scenery for switzerland and north italy and tried to start from an airport in this region (i tried Venice) the scenery also doesn't load. I also deleted everything and then created a folder Aircraft on the desktop and started FG, opening the 'Add-ons" tab and selected an additional aircraft folder. Then i extracted the Zip into contents/ressources/data/aircraft. However, when I do that though, the aircraft is always in its 'cold and dark' state, which makes it impossible to practice my approaches and. I know that you can select the starting position of the aircraft to be on approach mode, and you can select the altitude, speed, and distance from the runway. Then i downloaded an aircraft Zip (of the Super Dimona HK36) from the official website ( ). I mainly practice flying with the Airbus A320. I placed the FG main folder in the Application folder. I just installed FG version 2018.2.2 on my MacBook Air 2013 with IOS 10.11.6 (El Capitan).
