X-Plane is the world's most comprehensive, powerful flight simulator, and has
the most realistic flight model available for personal computers. X-Plane
is the only flight simulator that will work on Windows, Macintosh, or Linux
computers (see specific requirements at the bottom).
Aircraft
X-Plane allows you to fly any of over 40 pre-installed aircraft ranging from
the Bell 206 Jet-Ranger helicopter to a Cessna 172 to the supersonic SR-71 and
even the Space Shuttle! The pre-installed aircraft include single and multi
engine props, corporate and commercial jets, gliders, helicopters, and VTOL
aircraft such at the V-22 Osprey and AV8-B Harrier. There are thousands of
other aircraft that can be freely download over the internet and you can even
build your own aircraft to work with X-Plane!
Scenery and Airports
X-Plane scenery is world-wide, with scenery for the entire planet Earth between
-60 and +74 degrees latitude. X-Plane also has scenery of the planet MARS! (thanks to the Mars
Orbiting Laser Altimeter, which mapped that planet's elevation)
You can land at
any of over 18,000 airports, as well as test your mettle on aircraft carriers,
helipads on building tops, frigates that pitch and roll in the waves, and oil
rigs.
Weather
Weather is variable from clear skies and high visibility to thunderstorms with
controllable wind, wind shear, turbulence, and microbursts! Rain, snow and
clouds are available for an instrument flying challenge, and thermals are
available for the gliders! Real weather conditions can be downloaded from the
internet, allowing you to fly in the actual weather that currently exists!
Instruments
X-Plane also has detailed failure-modeling, with 35 systems that can be failed
manually or randomly, when you least expect it! You can fail instruments,
engines, flight controls, and landing gear at any moment.
X-Plane is also extremely customizable, allowing you to easily create textures,
sounds, and instrument panels for your own airplanes that you design or the
planes that come with the sim.
Customize
While X-Plane is the world's most COMPREHENSIVE flight sim, your purchase also
comes with Plane-Maker (to create your own airplanes) World-Maker (to create
your own scenery), and Weather Briefer (to get a weather briefing before the
flight if you use real weather conditions downloaded from the net).
What's Included:
- Airfoil-Maker (to make airfoils for your aircraft if you would like to make your
own planes).
- Plane-Maker (to make your own planes and helicopters)
- World-Maker (to make your own scenery)
- Weather-Briefer (to get a weather-briefing before your flight)
- X-Plane (the actual flight simulator)

Helps with flight training
by Randy from Miami FL USA
Pros: Realistic flight
Cons: 2 dimensions, like all computer software
Review: Cool software, which has come a long way from the early generation of home flight sims. Looks especially great on my 25" Mac screen! Realistic flight characteristics (at least for the 172 I'm training in), and has been a useful adjunct for setting up approaches & landings. Wide availability of airports and real time weather. Helpful for a student pilot, but wish there was better visualization of the GPS and the ability to perform certain air maneuvers.
