 Rating:  - flying a real plane is much less complicatedI have owned this sim. for a whole day and have yet to been able to get a Cessna 172 off the ground. I am an ATP rated pilot and have never encountered anything as complicated in real life as X-Plane 9. It is strictly for people that love to mess with computers. I own both versions of Flight Sim. and do enjoy them. I was given X-Plane 9 as a gift. After I delete it I'm worried about what to tell my friend that gave it to me. Thanks but no thanks? The flight engineers panel ... Read More Rating: - GOOD GRIEFI thought this "simulation" was a throwback from the early 90's. I strongly disagree with the two five star ratings by the author? and his brother? The flight model was poor, the interface with the joystick was poor, the graphics were smooth but looked very primitive. I already deleted this huge sim (60 GB - gigabytes!) off of my system. Rating:  - Not a game...VERY realisticX-Plane 9 is not really a game in the classic sense. But it is, without question, the most realistic flight sim you can get for entertainment. It is even used as part of an FAA certified trainer. It has more options and customization than you can imagine. It even allows you to create your own aircraft. I found the program solid and much more efficient (both CPU and graphics) than FSX. This is no "flight-arcade" game. If you really want realism, X-Plane this is only way to go. Rating: - A better simulator than Flight Sim XI purchased both X plane and Microsoft's Flight Sim X for the purpose of using them for some home flight training. As a simulator X plane 9 knocks the socks off Flight Sim X. Flight Sim X was simply too easy and the controls a tad unrealistic. Simple things really bothered me like the fact that the turn coordinator is there simply for show (it doesnt work) Flight Sim X is also a real system hog (see reviews on amazon for numerous complaints). I have numerous other complaints related to its realism ... Read More |
