Overview
X-Plane is the world&rsquo;s most comprehensive and powerful flight simulator for personal computers, and it offers the most realistic flight model available.

X-Plane is not a game, but an engineering tool that can be used to predict the flying qualities of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft with incredible accuracy.

Because X-Plane predicts the performance and handling of almost any aircraft, it is a great tool for pilots to keep up their currency in a simulator that flies like the real plane, for engineers to predict how a new airplane will fly, and for aviation enthusiasts to explore the world of aircraft flight dynamics.

Welcome to the world of props, jets, single- and multi-engine airplanes, as well as gliders, helicopters and VTOLs. X-Plane contains subsonic and supersonic flight dynamics, allowing users to predict the flight characteristics of the slowest aircraft or the fastest. X-Plane also includes more than 30 aircraft in the default installation, spanning the aviation industry and its history. Aircraft included range from the Bell 206 JetRanger and Cessna 172 to the Space Shuttle and the B- 2 Bomber. Additionally, more than 1,400 additional aircraft models can be downloaded from the Internet (X-Plane.org, the X-Plane.com Links page, and Google are good places to start looking), many of which are completely free. If those aren&rsquo;t enough, users can design their own airplanes and test-fly them!

What X-Plane Includes
Windows, Mac, and Linux installers are included on the discs purchased from [www.x-plane.com X-Plane.com]. There is over 70 GB-worth of scenery (covering essentially the entire world) and over thirty aircraft, with thousands of planes available on the web. The DVDs contain everything needed to run X-Plane&mdash;there is nothing more that you need to buy. You&rsquo;ll receive free updates to X-Plane 10 until Version 11 is released, as well some of the best customer service and tech support available.

While on its own X-Plane represents the world&rsquo;s most comprehensive flight simulator, the installation DVD also comes with Plane Maker, allowing users to create custom aircraft or modify existing designs, and Airfoil Maker, allowing users to create airfoil performance profiles.
