It's pretty good - the maths behind it are far more rigourous than MSFS - it uses blade element theory to calculate the dynamics of the aircraft and the visuals are all done in OpenGL, which is the way forward as far a graphics are concerned. The nice thing is that you can design your own planes in Planemaker, customise the terrain (the default is a bit boring) in Worldmaker or you can do what I do and download what other people have done and just play with it. The scenery for Schipol and Holland is particularly good as is the scenery for Rennes - which incidently was my first stop on my solo qualifier cross country!
All in all, a nice little sim - very powerful and looks great. Check out the websites
http://www.x-plane.com
http://www.x-plane.org - this site has many different planes, sceneries, textures, objects and the like to download.
Hope this all helps...

Just ordered a copy the other day, so I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to have a pretty good reputation. Doesn't require such a ninja PC as FS2000, which is why I ordered it...
If you have any luck finding UK scenery could you let me know?
Cheers,

To answer my own question, there seems to be some SE UK scenery at

One day, my review of X-Plane will be published by http://www.avsim.com/ . It's a great piece of software.
Well worth the $40, and you can try it for FREE.
Can build your own planes as well. Though my Hunter flies like dog poop...

I think it's tip top, fast and reasonable acurate. Using it to help with an IR. I've had to tweek the nav file, but no big deal. Shame I cannot find a Duchess anywhere mind you.
Question. I have a CH products yoke with 3 leavers, but, how can I get the third one (mixture) working? Is this not posible?
Thanks
