X-Plane is the world's most comprehensive,
powerful flight simulator, and has the most realistic flight
model available for personal computers.
Welcome to the world of props, jets, single- and multi-engine
airplanes, as well as gliders, helicopters and VTOLs such as
the V-22 Osprey and AV8-B Harrier.
X-Plane comes with subsonic and supersonic flight dynamics,
sporting aircraft from the Bell 206 Jet-Ranger helicopter and
Cessna 172 light plane to the supersonic Concorde and Mach-3
XB-70 Valkyrie. X-Plane comes with about 40 aircraft spanning
the aviation industry (and history), and several hundred more
are freely downloadable from the internet.
X-Plane scenery is world-wide, with scenery for the entire
planet Earth AND 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. |
