I can find the folder and it's like /usr/ports/games/flightgear but there is the Makefile so I think that is the installation folder and i also tried to install it but than it shows me that it is already installed.Could you tell me which one is the executable and how to run it or where I can find it?

Hi Jim,

Ports (and packages) are installed under /usr/local
For Flightgear for example in de ports directory you mention
/usr/ports/games/flightgear there is a file pkg-plist which contains a list
of files that are installed by this port. If you have done a rehash after
installing then the binary should be found in your path.
Good luck.
