![]() ![]() This means flying in the clouds with no reference to anything but instruments, weather as bad as a few hundred feet visibility and strong crosswinds for landing and takeoff are all part of normal ops. An airline pilot is, with few exceptions, always operating under instrument flight rules (IFR). Since you ask about airline flying for your comparison, there is a lot more to that than just the flying. In fact, when coupled with certified hardware and a CFI, X-Plane can power a sim that you can actually log FTD time in. (The developer blog is on the same server as the main website, so if the server’s getting killed again, you’re not reading this.X-Plane is a much truer simulation of flying than that flight game Microsoft used to make. ![]() We also managed to DDOS ourselves by creating so much traffic back to the company website with the initial announcement, but the site’s back up and stable now. An Android version is also scheduled for future development. ![]() Additional aircraft may be purchased using the in-App purchase feature. X-Plane 10 Mobile is available as a free App on the Apple iTunes Store and includes a free Cessna 172 starter aircraft. Realistic airport environments – – including airport buildings.Improved combat system- – – with better missile guidance, more accurate weapon simulation and more realistic explosions.Brand new, modern user interface – – designed just for mobile devices.Flight School tutorials – – including the basics of takeoffs & landings, flying traffic patterns, and how to bomb ground targets.Challenges – – over 20 scenarios including engine failures, mountain top landings, birdstrikes, and even airstrikes, where you dodge incoming anti-aircraft guns missiles.Many additional aircraft – – from a Piper Cub to the Airbus, and it even includes combat aircraft and a helicopter… all with 3D cockpits and available as in-app purchases.The result is a product that is not just another game, but rather a highly sophisticated simulation of how aircraft actually behave in a variety of environments and weather conditions.Version 10 contains numerous features and enhancements not found in the previous mobile version of X-Plane, including: As with the desktop version of X-Plane, the mobile version utilizes real physics to model the aerodynamic forces found in flying an actual aircraft. Laminar Research, creators of the X-Plane flight simulator franchise, has announced the release of X-Plane 10 Mobile, the premiere flight simulation product for the iPad and iPhone.X-Plane 10 Mobile was built using the same concepts in Laminar’s showcase desktop product, X- Plane 10. We finally shipped X-Plane 10 Mobile! Here’s the official press release: ![]()
