X-Plane 9 PC DVD-ROM

X-Plane 9 is the most comprehensive and powerful flight simulator available for the personal computer. X-Plane simulates anything that flies: from single-engine fixed wing props to multi-engine jets; gliders to dirigibles; helicopters to spacecraft to VTOLs, X-Plane simulates them all.

X-Plane includes scenery for the entire planet. You can land at any of thousands of 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. Thermals are simulated for realistic glider flights! Weather is variable from clear skies with high visibility to thunderstorms with controllable wind, wind shear, turbulence, and microbursts. Rain, snow, clouds and fog banks provide challenging instrument flying conditions. X-Plane can even fetch real weather data from the internet, allowing you to fly in weather that’s actually out there!

“Setting aside expensive simulators used to train pilots to fly airliners, X-Plane is the closest you can come to flying a plane without actually setting foot in one. ” —Joystiq.com
