• When you start FlightGear you will be presented with an initial "launch control" screen which allows you to select your aircraft, as well as a starting airport and runway.
• FlightGear ships with an extensive 218 page manual. We encourage people to at least take a glance through it, especially if they have questions or problems.
• 64-bit overlay: If you run 64-bit windows, you can download the self extracting 64-bit version of FlightGear. This installs over the top of the standard 32 bit version so you will need to install that first. fgsetup64-2.0.0.exe (14 Mb overlay):
