Yes, the other files contain the information about the world.

Nothing happened. I also noted that the "Choose Folder" entry did not seem to "stick" as a selected item. I did get a message: "The chosen location does not appear to contain FlightGear data files."
Are there any subsequent directions as to what to do after downloading the AppImage file?
Thanks for reporting these issues, I have success in Ubuntu 20.10, so I'll try Linux Mint 20.1 (thanks for the version information) to see if I can reproduce the issue in order to solve this problem.
In the meantime, if the button "Choose Folder" works to select a folder, here's the link of the "Download" button for 2020.3.6:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/flight ... 2/download.
Edit, I meant to add: After downloading and extracting the file, you can select the extracted folder with the "Choose Folder" button, then you should expect to see the launcher.
Cheers,
