X-Plane 10 is the world's most comprehensive, powerful flight simulator, and has
the most realistic flight model available for personal computers.
What's New in X-Plane 10? The most important additions to X-Plane
10 are:
many high-quality aircraft models with detailed 3-D cockpits
a brand new system for auto-generating plausible scenery for the entire
world
a new, highly-detailed cloud and weather rendering system
a flight model with improved accuracy and even greater power
a completely redone ATC and AI Aircraft system
the ability to more fully utilize multi-core CPUs for enhanced realism.
Aircraft X-Plane allows you to fly any of over 30 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!

additional aircraft models can be downloaded from the Internet
Scenery and Airports
X-Plane scenery is world-wide, with scenery for the entire planet Earth between
-60 and +74 degrees latitude. On Earth, users can land at any of over 33,000
airports or test their mettle on aircraft carriers, oil rigs, frigates (which
pitch and roll with the waves), or helipads atop buildings. They can also
realistically model the flight of remote-controlled model aircraft, perform an
air-launch in an X-15 or Space Ship One from the mother ship, fly re-entries
into Earth’s atmosphere in the Space Shuttle, fly with friends over the Internet
or a LAN, drop water on forest fires, or shoot approaches to aircraft carriers
at night in stormy weather and rough water conditions in a damaged F-4. The
situations that can be simulated are unbelievably diverse!
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 for a
specific location!
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)
X-Plane (the actual flight simulator)
