I've heard raves about X-Plane so I ordered a copy. Disc 1 (program disc) would not load. from Amazon.com Its not a simulator you'll out grow soon! Fantastic customer service. Great job to X-PLANE and the customer service department. from Amazon.com I'll keep this brief. As a user of MSFS and X-Plane 9.2+ (free upgrades until XP 10), I have to endorse X-Plane as the superior product. While both games demand powerful machines to run them at acceptable levels, X-Plane offers much more playability to users who don't have higher-end computers. from Amazon.com As a flight sim enthusiast i buy most leading flight simulators, if only to satisfy my curiosity. I'm aware of the fundamental difference between the Microsoft and X-plane simulators and enjoy both at times. i had some experience with x-plane 8 through it's different stages and even though some of the releases were good, some were very,very bad, so is the current release of x-plane (9.31). from Amazon.com X-Plane is a very technical ultra realistic flight simulation experience. You can fly just about any flying craft from helicopters to the Space Shuttle. from Amazon.com As others have stated, it needs to be emphasized that this is *not* a game, it is a consumer grade flight simulator. It is aimed at the side of the FS market that values flight model and general physical modeling over visual aspects of the sim, though this is getting more attention as the X-Plane lineage matures. I have used X-P since version 5, and have come to appreciate the nuances and "one-man-show" aspect of the programming, if not always enjoying the immediate results! from Amazon.com X-Plane may be a good toy, but it is no where near the quality of Flight Sim X. Installing the game takes forever, its on 6 DVD's, yet the scenery is sub par, and the models a really poor. from Amazon.com I tryed to install this into my Vista computer for 2 hours, and Vista refused to load it. I talked to the service department, and they said they have had some problems with Vista. from Amazon.com You'll be coming to X-Plane for one of two reasons: You're a dedicated Microsoft FS pilot and you want to try something new, or you're a Mac owner and you have no other choice. Let me see if I can cut to the chase right away: I've flown thousands of successful missions with Flight Simulator, but I've never completed even ONE mission with X-Plane, and I've been flying both for a decade. from Amazon.com Horrible retail production value. This sim feels like it was made in the 90's. I've tried versions 6-8 and it's still the same mostly... from Amazon.com
