The Aero and ME departments at the univeristy of minnesota have a single global install that is accessible from all department managed macs, pc's, linux, sgi, and solaris machines. (I have only installed working binaries for windows and linux right now.) But this is at least several hundred machines and even more users that can run flightgear out of the same installation tree (which is obviously read only to all but me and the sys admins.) In this case ~/.fgfsrc files and environment variables are very handy if anyone wants to make local customizations.
