Re: [Flightgear-users] Flight gear very hard for MAC users
The Mac launcher appears to have some sort of intelligent auto-installer for aircraft and scenery. I haven't tried it, but it appears that the intention is that it will know where to put things automatically and eliminate the need for the end user to have to worry about extracting the archives and locating the installation directories manually.
