X-Plane is the most
comprehensive and powerful flight simulator available for the
personal computer. X-Plane simulates anything that flies: from
single-engine fixed wing props to multi-engine jets; gliders to
dirigibles; helicopters to spacecraft to VTOLs such as the V-22
Osprey and AV8-B Harrier.
X-Plane has the most realistic flight model available for personal
computers. It comes with subsonic and supersonic flight dynamics,
simulating aircraft from the Bell 206 Jet-Ranger helicopter and
Cessna 172 light plane to the supersonic SR-71 and Mach-3 XB-70
Valkyrie.
X-Plane comes with 29 aircraft spanning the aviation industry (and
history), and several hundred more are freely downloadable from the
internet.
X-Plane includes scenery for the entire continental U.S.* You can
land at any of thousands of 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 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! X-Plane can download real weather data
from the internet, allowing you to fly in actual current conditions!
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 includes Plane-Maker which allows you to create your own
airplanes, and World-Maker which lets you create your own scenery.
Also included is Weather Briefer which produces a weather briefing
based on actual weather conditions downloaded from the net.
X-Plane is extremely customizable, allowing you to easily create
textures, sounds, and instrument panels for your own airplanes that
you design.
