Others say...
"Real Planes, Real Physics, Real Fun" I have played a lot a flight sims... it's part of my job. I do work for this little company called Laminar Research which just happens to market a little game called X-Plane. I can't say much for Young's Modulous (yet) but as far as X-Plane goes, I can tell you that it is the very best flight simulator available and here's why: It wasn't designed for Joe who wants to play a flight simulator game- it was designed for people who actually fly airplanes- for people who like real physics- for people who want to fly in REAL TIME weather and take off from their home airport. Austin Meyer, the designer of this game, is a genious- a one man team (plus myself, the puny graphics guy) who single handedly programs the amount of stress of every single section of the airplane. Amazing programing. What gripes could you have? Graphics slightly less than par?... All versions include FREE upgrades and patches and thousands of other planes have been modeled by various fans. Give X-Plane a shot! Trust me. Amazing company, ladies and gentlemen. He gives his very own technical support.) Real Planes, Real Physics, Real Fun. X-Plane. Go for it.
"wow, but also a CAVEAT" I use version 5.66 that I upgraded to for FREE after I bought X-Plane 5.54 by XICAT. It's awesome, very realistic experience... BUT: you should know that a newer improved version of X-plane (6.xx) is available from www.x-plane.com and if you own a fast computer with a good graphics card you should really get that instead of the discontinued version that XICAT still (!) sells. At X-Plane.com there also is a DEMO available for free!!! So you can check it out yourself. Happy Flying!
"BIG LET DOWN" I STARTED OFF WITH FS 98 THEN I GOT FS 2000 AND LATELY BOUGHT FS 2002.NOW I MADE A MISTAKE AND BOUGHT X PLANE WHICH IS RUBBISH COMPARED WITH FS 2002. THE GRAPHICS AND SCENERY ETC IN FS 20002 ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO X PLANE. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED X PLANE DOES NOT GET OFF THE GROUND. IF YOU BUY ONLY ONE FLIGHT SIM GET THE BEST MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIM 2002 WHY SETTLE FOR AN INFERIOR VERSION.CHECK THE DEMOS AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.
"X plane Soars Above The Rest!!!" X Plane is an AWSOME game-from the giant 777 to the tiny RC Helicopters its got EVRYTHING!! if Your a beginer this is the simulator for you!!!and its not very complicated.over 7,000 airports make this one-of-a-kind.Even if you cant figure it out at first-give it time.my favorite is the Boieng 777 its a very cool plane. also I love space and with the ability to fly the space shuttle and on mars it adds to my long list of compliments-thanks NASA!!!!!!!!Each plane has its own cockpit. its not a lie-this game does have over 40 aircraft.you can land/takeoff from an aircraft carrier and an oil rig at sea!!! you can also fly a blinp.you customize evrything before the flight-weather-time of day-turbulance-even what altitude the clouds are at!!!from the air the ground looks EXACTLY like it does in a real plane!you can download new aircraft [from the producers] and get lots of flying tips!! with real weather conditions like snow wind and turbulance this game is so realistic you will think your in the real pilots seat!! This is a great flight simulator and I recomend it to anyone who loves the feling of flying!!

What our customer's say!
"Accurate flight models", I purchased this game to supplement my real flight training mostly because of its highly touted flight model. I have found that for the most part, this simulator provides a very true flying experience from a physics standpoint. Utilizing incremental slices of the aicraft's structure and airfoils, this program simulates the real effect of aerodynamic forces on these "slices" and combines this data into a composite flight model. Subtle realism is key here as all flight sims are effective in simple X-Y-Z planes of motion. Graphics are not the greatest, but the people who this simulation targets are hardly worried about such trivial details. Bottom Line: If you're looking for one of the most physically accurate simulations available, you should give X-Plane a try. If you're looking for fancy pictures and scenery, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
"X-plane V5.52-V5.99", My wife bought it for me because I am a pilot and I enjoy flight simulations, but mostly the flight simulation games. We gave $30 for X-plane V5 but you can get this version now either for free or for under $10 if you look around. Really it's not worth anything so please do not run right out and buy it. At least try the downloadable demo first.
X-plane isn't a game, it's a flight sim program. A flight sim and a flight sim game are two completely different things. In a flight sim you just "fly" your computerized airplane from one airport to another. If you think that's incredibly boring you are right. In a flight sim game you get to blow things up, and others get to shoot you down, so there's never a dull moment in a real flight sim game.
I installed X-plane V5, I had nothing but problems with it. The graphics are bad. The flight model isn't realistic. I laughed when I read someone else's "good" review of the product and they said "It's so smooth!" Yes it is and the kind of smoothness that it has is not realistic. Graphic scenery viewers are smooth to; they have no character at all. Real airplanes have character.
The joystick on X-plane V5 allows for two joysticks but only allows for 3 functions and they were programmed wrong. I've only got one joystick on this computer yet the default in the X-plane sim was for joystick 2?
The airplanes do everything they can to turn upside down, I took screenshots of the F-22 that literally flipped over on the runway and took off down the side of the runway upside down, all without me ever touching the controls.
The graphics inside and outside of the airplanes and the terrain are without question among the very worst I've ever seen. The control panel is nothing but basic computer graphics thrown on the screen in a rectangle with a tiny window above so you can see out. Apparently there's an option that allows the user to change the graphics if they know how to create their own graphics.
Airplanes all fly by the principles of aerodynamics, but every type of airplane has a unique feeling and characteristics all of its own. In X-plane V5 each time you change aircraft it changes your control panel. It changes your speed and stall settings, but all the airplanes have exactly the same problem. They have no feeling to them at all.
Tired and not thinking clearly, I decided I should get the latest patches for X-plane. I went to the X-plane website and in my fatigue I missed the small link to the older files. The FAQ's were no help so I sent a message to the author, Austin Meyer who promptly sent me a rude message to let me know I was a stupid idiot and there was nothing wrong with his software. In three different messages he let me know I was a stupid idiot. Yes I am, I should never have allowed my wife to buy his software.
A software vender or author should never insult their customers for any reason. I was astounded at the great effort he went to to insult me. Don't make the same mistake I made with this software.
They say X-plane is better than MS Flight sim, I'm confident they paid the guy to say that so they could write it on the box. I have tested MS Flight sim 95 and 2000 and I can tell you X-plane is not better than MS Flight Sim. Being a pilot with a brother who is a flight instructor I can tell you that you will not find X-plane in his school, but you will find MS Flight Sims.
Anyone who wants to read the full review and see the graphics can do so on the old Independent Software Consultants website at Http://www.dream-link.org/ISC Just go to the simulation games and then to flight sims.
"Hmmm....", well, I have to admit..I DO NOT OWN THE GAME. but from the demo it wasn't very impressive. I own a whole bunch of flight sim stuff-Ch yoke, pedals-the works. When I started the demo I got these random alerts about the problems my computer was having but it said it could fix them. I plugged in my yoke and pedals expecting that the game would recognize them (considering that it did say to go to CH's website for sticks and yokes). I push the throttle...nothing happens. ? well, ok and I went to the settings and finally set up all the controls after about 30 minutes of frustration. (THE DARN THING DIDN"T COME WITH A READ ME OR ANYTHING..IT LEFT ME ALL ON MY OWN WITS) well, now that I set my controls (only half of them because half the controls weren't even on the list of controls. For a matter fo fact, the game only lets you look left and right, the rest is panning. It didn't recognize the hat switch of flipper switches for gears so I couldn't lower or raise gears. very frusterating. Well, then I thought: I've heard all this rage about the shuttle re-entry, let's try it! I go into the menu to shuttle approach and click it. It loads, and puts me in space..cool! All of a sudden an alert pops up saying space isn't in the demo. HUH? but it loaded me in here and im now stuck in this one screen and it glitches my comp. sigh Now I have to restart...oh well..I told myself: alright one more try...after about 2 minutes another darn alret pops up: "I have not recognized the 7.0 X plane CD so I am going to disable the joystick"...What the HECK? disable the stick? Well now I can't fly at all so I just went back to playing fs 2002 which is vastly more intelligent and fun. When I first used fs 2002 I recognized my yoke and pedals in the equipement tab. X Plane (even though it advertises CH products) doesn't even bother to recognize my yoke or pedals. So, maybe if I owned the game and had a manual it would make more sense...but if a demo is supposed to attract a buyer this sure did a terrible job of it, I'm not motivated to buy it AT ALL.
"THE BEST EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", Asome game,i love it,{go on the games web site newer verion there}This game flys with color's ,asome planes,you can even make your own plane its that easy,and im 12!ever wanted to put a huge roket on a rc helcopter with more than a thousend pounds of thrust?you can do it!,ever whantid to make your own plane?you can do it!ever whanted to sling shot a 747 of a aircract cairrar with 10 feet hie waves you can do it! This is the best Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Something fishy here...", Shell out forty bucks for this at Wal-mart. Get home, open the box. Nice pictures. Plop down in an armchair with the manual. Installation-easy peasy. Aircraft-simple. Flight controls-okay. Weather and part-maker, plane-maker, ground-maker-totally incomprehensible. Install, click 'play'. As soon as you start on the runway, you advance the throttle. Nothing happens. You switch to an outside view and throttle up again. Your rudder moves left. In frustration, you move the stick right. Your plane starts moving down the tarmac. This and other quirks are fixable, but take a lot of adjusting. Another thing, in my aircraft folder, where are the 747, P-51, and other promised aircraft? Oh, I get it. I have to build em from scratch. Terrain-stinks. Object detail-blegh. Sharpness-very good. This is a SERIOUS sim meant only for advanced users. I dont know about you, but Im going back to the comforting simplicity of WW2 Fighters, FS, and the like.

"My opinion on X-Plane", I would say that X-plane is one of the better, but not best flight simulators out there. The graphics are beyond excellent, some of the scenes look so real that you'ld think that your watching real life! It has a variety of planes from small prop driven aircraft to Tremendously huge whales of aircraft. However, X-plane is in my view incomplete. You can't control the planes with out a joystick. The program's manual says that you can control the plane using the numeric keypad, but it doesn't tell you which keys do what. The simulator has an inluded text document that lists keyboard controls, but I've found that they don't work in the game. It feels like the simulator was designed more for professional pilots, rather than the average armchair pilot like you and me. It gives you no clue as to how to set the aircrat's instruments or how to even read some of them. You can forget about using air traffic Control. After you file a flight plan, they keep nagging over your head to maintain an altitude, and most planes are practically impossible to keep level. They just want to keep climbing or diving, and some just want to drop like rocks. I've tried setting the elevator and aileron trim, but it takes too long. You decide that you want an altitude of let's say 5000 feet, by the time you've gotten the plane level and under control, you'ld be well over 10,000 feet high. And forget about descending, you'ld have to go through the trim hassle all over again! This review is based on version 5.54, in my eyes it needs alot more work.
"The Best Flight sim", This flight sim is the only one you'll ever need. Superfast graphics, realistic flight model, and weather and most of all it is updated regually not like Microsoft Flight Simulator Over 700 aircraft enough? Oh it also has fast frame rate and you can fly on part of Mars and also in space. buy it
"X-Plane shhhh don't tell Bill", I bought FS2000 and was immediately sorry that I did. I own a powerful computer with a very decent video graphics card (Diamond Viper V770 ultra) it's not a Maxtrox but it is very good. I found playing FS2000 a nighmare in refresh hell. I really wanted to find a good flight sim to just tool around in and help me out when I finally deside to bite the bullet and get my ticket. I bought X-plane after looking at some hardcore flight sim pages that were full of X-plane downloads and extras. I was AMAZED, beautifully smooth graphics, realistic sound and controls, voice simulated ATC, REALTIME weather downloaded automatically every 10 minutes (with downloaded software off X-plane site for free) and Planes- Planes- and more PLANES! Not only did the software come with everything you would ever want to try to fly, but you can download literally hundreds more off the net...FOR FREE! You can make or modify your own (although it is pretty technical and I have not tried yet, I will let the wizards do it) Oh...and one more thing... When I bought FS2000, do you think that I can upgrade to FS2002 for free (not unless pigs fly... I have not seen that one in a sim yet) The next major release of X-Plane is FREE!! The reason that I am writing this review right now is because I came to Amazon to buy my dad a copy for his birthday... He is not easy to buy for (nor easily impressed) I think that I have got this one right on the money!
"Game is too ugly and buggy", I will admit that graphics are pretty important for me and I am quite excited about the upcoming Flight Simulator 2002 which looks like it is going to have ground breaking graphics. In contrast, X-Plane features graphics that are undeniably stuck in 1995. The terrain models are horrible up close and far away and the instrument panels are very low color 2d monstrosities. If graphics are important to you too, then don't even think about playing this game without first downloading the demo. As for talk about the flight model being realistic -- I find that the planes are easier to fly in X-Plane than in MSFS2000 which I also find more boring.
"Better Than FS2000", Compaired to FS2000 this is (in my oppinion) a much better game. I myself take flight instruction and i find this better and much more challenging than FS2000. As it says there are 50+ planes, some are crazy like the Science Fiction ones but the others are good models... The scenery shouldnt be what you are looking for in a flight sim, maybe obstacles (such as mountains) which this has and my fav. part is landing on aircraft carriers, I hope you enjoy it too!
