Download the self extracting/installing fgsetup-1.0.0.exe (172 Mb):
After downloading the fgsetup-1.0.0.exe file, launch it and follow the on screen instructions to complete the installation. The installer will create start menu entries, install documentation, optionally install a desktop icon, and also will provide a well behaved uninstaller.
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 109 page manual. We encourage people to at least take a glance through it, especially if they have questions or problems.
