Hi, Please read this first (especially "Note" section on Installing FlightGear): http://macflightgear.sourceforge.net/home/documents/users-guide This guide answers all of your questions.
The instructions in the news below also may help you avoid the crash. http://macflightgear.sourceforge.net/a-patch-that-prevents-fg-200-from-crash-on-launch-is-available By the way, Mac OS X does support zip files. See "Others" section in the guide above.
