The download size is very small !
It would not faze me one bit if the base package was 1 GB in size.
It can only get bigger (and better!) as the project moves forwards.


Eventually FlightGear will become (if it is not already :-) ubiquitous, and the number of aircraft models will be so numerous to even consider storing in one place anywhere. Right now, Dave Culp has a "hangar" where some aircraft are stored (complete with FDM and 3D model). I don't think his is the only one. To me, it would make sense to include a sensibly wide variety of types, and of only the highest quality where possible. Then, begin publicizing the various hangar URLs.

Someone mentioned the ability of installing and uninstalling aircraft, and possibly loading them as modules. This brought up (for me) the idea of moving back the starting point when the program loads. Instead of starting in the aircraft itself, start at a "rental desk" where you could select the aircraft you wish to fly from a list of installed aircraft (and only the most stable are included in the release package, everything is included in the CVS), then you hit "load" and the program fades to the cockpit and the rest is as is, with the exception of the option of going back to the selection desk.
