                                                                  X-Plane for iPhone

X-Plane 9 by Laminar Research is a new flight simulator application for the iPhone.

X-Plane for Mac, Windows, and Linux is the most flexible and realistic flight simulator on the market for desktop personal computers. Using blade element theory for the most powerful and accurate flight model available for personal computers, and earning FAA certification for logging of flight time for pilots, X-Plane is the Gold Standard for accurate flight simulation, offering realism that is unmatched by any other simulator.

Now, thanks to the power of the iPhone and iPod touch, X-Plane is available for these stunning little platforms. As in the full desktop version, X-Plane for iPhone lets you experiment with different times of day, weather, sky conditions, wind, turbulence and airplanes, all while flying the craft from various different views in the stunning terrain topography of Innsbruck, Austria, home to some of the most challenging mountains and topography for aviation.

X-Plane is available from the App Store for $9.99.

New in version 9.02

- More airports! There are 3 of them now, and the little RMI at the bottom of the HUD points to the closest one.
- Map! It’s in the location screen now. Drag it around… with BOTH fingers! Pull your fingers apart and push them together!
  Swizzle them around! Watch what the map does!
- The planes now have much nicer-looking propellers.
- Lateral accelerometer calibration as well as vertical! It’s in the SET menu.
- Some little scenery and frame-rate improvements! Kind of nice!

Update: X-Plane 9 version 9.06 features:

- More flying regions and airports; the initial release had only the area around Innsbruck, Austria. Now you can fly around Southern California, Hawaii, and San Francisco as well.
- More airplanes. The Piper Malibu single and Beech King-Air twin have been added to the X-Plane 9 fleet.
- EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrument System). For budding or real pilots, having a real "glass cockpit" adds to the realism of X-Plane 9. According to Laminar Research, pilots are actually beginning to use X-Plane 9 Airliner (a sister product) for practice prior to simulator check flights!
- A much improved flight model. This makes the handling characteristics of each aircraft type much closer to the real thing.
- A pause button so you can actually get back to reality on occasion, then return to a flight in progress.
- Better animation frame rate for more realism.
