Simviation Forums

While on a late perusal of the local WallyWorld last nite, I saw something 'new'.....a flightsim titled "X-Plane 9".

From the outside it looked a bit interesting.....but a dress on a pig looks sorta interesting too!

X-Plane's been around for ages. I only have v.7 but I hear the new one (v.9) is rather graphic intensive.

The sim's sole purpose is accurate flight dynamics.

JSpahn could tell you all about XPlane, and from his screenshots the sim looks terrific, plus I've heard some good stuff about it.  I won't get it just because I'm still learning and tweaking FSX and flying FS9...I don't have time for another flightsim  

Thanx!  I got a bit left on a WW giftcard and was considering picking it up for something a bit different to occupy myself with next winter.

When I googled it earlier, it did look pretty cool.

That's Old new, in fact decades Old..

But who knows, Maybe X-plane (If MS won't work in FS anymore) Will rule in the next 5 years  8-)

Just saw this post, an avid fs9 user for years I deced to go with X-Plane due to a recent computer virus....feed up with windows vulerabilities

I've user X-Plane 5-8 and liked them. Their flight engine is much more realistic than FSs but graphically it isn't nearly as good.
I've got X8 and FS9 on my rig at home and fly them both.

Thanx for the opines!  I knew I'd get a decent feel for what's up with it by asking the experts. 8-)
