X-Plane 8 ** Description |
|
X-Plane is the most comprehensive and powerful flight simulator available for the personal computer. X-Plane simulates anything that flies: single-engine fixed wing props to multiengine 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.
X-Plane comes with 41 aircraft spanning the aviation industry (and history), and several hundred more are freely downloadable from the internet.
X-Plane includes scenery for Europe and USA with more available as options. 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 weather conditions!
X-Plane also has detailed failure-modelling, 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 to really put your flying skills to the test.
X-Plane now has a new scenery format - gone is the uniform chequer-board pattern. Scenery is crafted to fit any terrain feature no matter how irregular its shape. Countless buildings and other landmarks are then overlaid on the terrain to give you a highly realistic 3D world in which to fly.
X-Plane includes Plane-Maker which allows you to create your own aeroplanes, 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 customisable, allowing you to easily create textures, sounds, and instrument panels for your own aeroplanes that you design
