X-Plane 8 0 DVD-ROM

1 stars (X-PLANE) - Wow what a disappointment. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! If want a game that is not realistic this is the game for you. Every aspect of this game is no where near what happens in the real world. I'm not saying that any other simulator will be 100% realistic, but Flight Simulator is the closest thing. Like I said it is not like real life, but it is 98% acurate. The only 2% that's not realistic is that you can't feel the G-forces. If you wnat to waste thirty dollars buy X-plane. If you want to learn how to fly in the most realistic experience go with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 and/or 2004. 5 stars (Move over Microsoft, or should I say Microsoft who?) - (6/18/05) MS Flight Simulator, and most other consumer sims, use static quantitative flight models that essentially are a series of numerical quantities for each aircraft concerning thrust, turn rates at a give speed, lift, etc. X-plane is a revolutionary consumer flight sim that uses real aerodynamic fluid-like physics to "derive" a flight model in real time, by simplifying the forces into "blades" acting upon the aircraft...almost like having a wind tunnel in your computer. It uses the same concept of software that aerospace companies utilize for testing airframes and roughing-out control software prior to a prototype being built. In fact, I hear some smaller companies are now using it for that purpose rather than buying the previous software only available at high prices to major engineering firms. X-Plane is also approved for some aspects of early pilot training by the FAA. There is also an add on for the planet Mars available from the X-Plane website, as well as a Space Combat Simulator. The usual flight procedures are included in X-Plane. There's no lack of them there. Also, because of the nature of the derived flight models, an aircraft modeler is included. Yes, X-Plane is luring those strange people who make model airplanes in their basement. But the rest of us get to benefit. There ...
