You would just have to copy data files to
${PREFIX}/share/flightgear/Aircraft/. Simple but not convenient, I agree.

I've established a first selection by following the main aircraft page :
http://www.flightgear.org/download/aircraft-v2-4/
and removing alpha/beta/experimental/early-production planes. I'll try
to shorten this list one way or another and come back with a limited
aircraft list. If somebody wants a plane to be added to it, just tell me
: I'll update it.
I'll try to work on that ASAP, but I am currently very busy, so don't
expect any change before a few weeks.
Best regards,
