X-Plane is one of the finest games out for the iPhone and iPod Touch, but Laminar Research keeps updating it to make it even more fun than it already is. Version 9.02 of this flight simulator puts more airports in the game, with a little RMI at the bottom of the HUD points. It’ll also feature a map in the location screen. The propellers of your planes will look better and the lateral accelerometer calibration is now vertical as well. Along with some other smaller updates this new version of X-Plane will be launched soon.
Laminar Research has published on its forum that X-Plane for the iPhone and iPod Touch will be receiving an update in the coming days. “DUDE.. you have only seen the START.”, that’s what the developer of X-Plane says on the forum and then he sums up a nice list of new features for this $9.99 App Store game:
We are going to have airliners, helicopters, gliders… this is only the BEGINNING.
Also (and there is no way I should mention this) X-Plane AUTOMOTIVE is SCREAMING fun.. I will be ready to release it, hopefully, within 7 days.
When you see me issue a post about how I am morally opposed (or something) to an automotive version of x-plane with ferraris and corvettes and KRAZY tracks, you will know that we are within about 48 hours of release.
Today Laminar Research has released X-Plane for the iPhone. The Mac OS X, Windows and Linux version of the game are very popular and extremely realistic with very detailed gameplay and stunning graphics. Laminar Research calls X-Plane the Gold Standard for accurate flight simulation, and for $9.99 you can find out if it’s worth its status of Gold Standard.
