Yes.
If you're starting from the command line, use fgfs --help --verbose to
get the whole list of command line options, and fgfs --show-aircraft to
get the list of available aircraft in the default installation.

I was starting Flightgear by clicking on the icon in the
Applications/Games menu (using GUI). I tried your command lines (help
and show-aircraft) which worked ok. I gave the command fgfs
--aircraft=xxx which allowed me to select an aircraft, then took me into
flightgear. So that problem is solved. Thanks.

I don't know what "everything goes crazy" means, so I dunno what's
up. Can you elaborate?
1 fps seems very very slow for hardware rendering; but if you were
doing software rendering you probably wouldn't be able to get 28-30 fps
in the small window. But just out of curiosity, if you try the command
"glxinfo", you should see a line near the top that says something like
"direct rendering: Yes" or "direct rendering: No". What does that line
say? And what options do you start fgfs with, and what does your
.fgfsrc file (if you have one) look like?
everell replies:
glxinfo, direct rendering, is yes.
search for files .fgfsrc yields no files found. (is that file name
correct?)
As long as I don't go full screen, the simulator is working. Full
screen updates once per minute and is impossible to use for flying.
