X-Plane iPhone 9.20 (Retail)
X-Plane for the iPhone and iPod Touch is a powerful, yet portable flight simulator that uses the built-in accelerometer to control the aircraft.
Features Include: Take the controls of a Cessna 172, Columbia 400, Piper Malibu, Cirrus Vision (Jet), Piaggio Avanti (Twin) or a Beech King Air (Twin). You can configure all sorts of settings such as wind, sky condition, region, time of day, and aircraft weight. Once you select a region you can choose a takeoff location or choose to have X-Plane set you up on final for practice landings. There are several view modes to choose from including: inside (forward looking), panel view, as well as a rear and front view from the outside.
What's New: 9.20 - HUD now handles negative elevations better and other minor bug fixes.

Review
Pros: Impressive graphics, practice IFR approaches with full-panel mode, great use of the accelerometer.
Cons: Settings screen will not save aircraft type, etc when you exit the program, force feedback would be nice.
Notes: ** Reviewed on an iPhone 3G - Firmware 2.2.1 **

| "I have been playing this ever since the first version came out for the iPhone. I really enjoy the flying and realism it provides. I also have a Marware Game Grip that makes flying even more enjoyable. I do wish the program was slightly leaner due to the fact it takes about 30 seconds to load and some pages are slightly slowish. {version 9.07}" | |
