As of 2022 I (Curt) have closed the official FlightGear store. Over time the built in capability of FlightGear to download scenery and aircraft on demand has greatly improved so the need for distributing the scenery and aircraft set went to nearly zero. Combined with personal factors like a job and location change, along with some external factors like really unreliably and slow international shipping challenges (and rapidly increasing shipping costs!), it just didn’t make sense for me to keep the store going. I felt like the value I could deliver was not keeping up with the cost I had to charge to break even. We had a great run and got copies of FlightGear into the hands of many people who would have struggled to download the entire set of databases.
If you think you’d like a copy of FlightGear but are unable to download it yourself, some ideas include visiting a local library or coffee shop with decent internet access. Maybe you have a friend with better connectivity? Watch out for sketchy people still selling FlightGear online … most of them are selling you a right to download it, but you can already do that 100% for free. Some of them claim they have made improvements … those claims are /highly/ suspect! Our great development team is always making a constant stream of improvements.
So long and thanks for all the fish!
