Customer Reviews of X Plane
X-Plane shhhh don't tell Bill I bought FS2000 and was immediately sorry that I did. I own a powerful computer with a very decent video graphics card (Diamond Viper V770 ultra) it's not a Maxtrox but it is very good. I found playing FS2000 a nighmare in refresh hell. I really wanted to find a good flight sim to just tool around in and help me out when I finally deside to bite the bullet and get my ticket. I bought X-plane after looking at some hardcore flight sim pages that were full of X-plane downloads and extras. I was AMAZED, beautifully smooth graphics, realistic sound and controls, voice simulated ATC, REALTIME weather downloaded automatically every 10 minutes (with downloaded software off X-plane site for free) and Planes- Planes- and more PLANES! Not only did the software come with everything you would ever want to try to fly, but you can download literally hundreds more off the net...FOR FREE! You can make or modify your own (although it is pretty technical and I have not tried yet, I will let the wizards do it) Oh...and one more thing... When I bought FS2000, do you think that I can upgrade to FS2002 for free (not unless pigs fly... I have not seen that one in a sim yet) The next major release of X-Plane is FREE!! The reason that I am writing this review right now is because I came to Amazon to buy my dad a copy for his birthday... He is not easy to buy for (nor easily impressed) I think that I have got this one right on the money!
Move over Microsoft
You think that Microsoft is the only one to make a flight sim? Think again hotshot! X-Plane is the most impressive flight sim I've flown. The realizm level in the game is simple amazing. The best part is that if it's an airport in the continental US and many places abroad it's in this game. Ever heard of Dixon Municipal Airport or Palwaukee Airport in Illinois? Didn't think so, but they are right by my house and I can flight out of them! Hwo cool is that? some graphics are a bit sketchy but the focus of the game isn't that. Plus you can create ground objects. Now you can fly into your house. Mars, you can fly there to. The game alows you to create airplanes of your design, you want a liquid rocket fuel jet engine on you 747, now you can! You create it and the game tells you how it would fly. I can't express the fun I have with this game in words, where else can you fly the spacce shuttle?
Hmmm....
well, I have to admit..I DO NOT OWN THE GAME. but from the demo it wasn't very impressive. I own a whole bunch of flight sim stuff-Ch yoke, pedals-the works. When I started the demo I got these random alerts about the problems my computer was having but it said it could fix them. I plugged in my yoke and pedals expecting that the game would recognize them (considering that it did say to go to CH's website for sticks and yokes). I push the throttle...nothing happens. ? well, ok and I went to the settings and finally set up all the controls after about 30 minutes of frustration. (THE DARN THING DIDN"T COME WITH A READ ME OR ANYTHING..IT LEFT ME ALL ON MY OWN WITS) well, now that I set my controls (only half of them because half the controls weren't even on the list of controls. For a matter fo fact, the game only lets you look left and right, the rest is panning. It didn't recognize the hat switch of flipper switches for gears so I couldn't lower or raise gears. very frusterating. Well, then I thought: I've heard all this rage about the shuttle re-entry, let's try it! I go into the menu to shuttle approach and click it. It loads, and puts me in space..cool! All of a sudden an alert pops up saying space isn't in the demo. HUH? but it loaded me in here and im now stuck in this one screen and it glitches my comp. sigh Now I have to restart...oh well..I told myself: alright one more try...after about 2 minutes another darn alret pops up: "I have not recognized the 7.0 X plane CD so I am going to disable the joystick"...What the HECK? disable the stick? Well now I can't fly at all so I just went back to playing fs 2002 which is vastly more intelligent and fun. When I first used fs 2002 I recognized my yoke and pedals in the equipement tab. X Plane (even though it advertises CH products) doesn't even bother to recognize my yoke or pedals. So, maybe if I owned the game and had a manual it would make more sense...but if a demo is supposed to attract a buyer this sure did a terrible job of it, I'm not motivated to buy it AT ALL.
