Publisher's description

From Laminar Research :

X-Plane is the ultimate general-aviation flight sim. With hardware-accelerated texture-mapped graphics, dynamic speech synthesis, full-planet terrain-mapped scenery, helicopters, and the widest range of airplanes available in flight simulation, X-Plane will keep your eyes popping out for hours.

CNET Editor's Note: To obtain betas, use the X-Plane updater and check "get betas" in the options screen before you update.

What's new in this version:

Space Shuttle orbiter model improved... some dimensions were off before.â?¨
More realistic night vision... kind of cool.â?¨
Engine nacelle angular offsets should be properly represented.â?¨
Missiles should only draw their little fire-trail if they are firing, and not during the drop-phase, if they have zero-thrust for that phase.

â?¨â?¨If you have a custom 'compass_GA-1' in your plane, be sure to copy that file from the resources/bitmaps/cockpit folder,â?... see all new features
