X-Plane 9 for iPhone

[Guest Brett Campany]

Well I've never played X-Plane before so I really had no idea to expect but I have to say the X-Plane App from the iTunes Store for my iPhone was pretty impressive!

 

You get the choice of 6 regions.

 

Innsbruck, Austria

 

Hawaii

 

Boswell Bay, Alaska

 

Southern Califonia

 

San Fransisco & Desert Sky, California

 

With 6 aircraft to play with, there's no getting bored!

 

Cessna 172, Columbia 400, Piper Malibu, Cirrus Vision, Piaggio Avanti and a Beech King-Air

 

Playing the game can take a bit of getting used to as it uses the iPhone's Accelerometer to move the aircraft around and there's settings to change the way it moves so you can suit it to how you want it to work.

 

The are you get to fly in is of decent size a couple of other airports to go and land at.

 

At the end of the day, it's something fun to use while you're on a train or bus or at the office with nothing to do.

 

I've just recently purchased a Mac and will be testing the full version of X-Plane 9 in the near future!
