X-Plane-Airliner Review

No Comments

Hey guys,

Many of you iPhone & iPod touch users out there will have heard of the app X-Plane, released in September of last year. It is a really awesome flight simulator app that allows users to fly planes using the built in accelerometers and touchscreen. However, with every first app, there was a couple of bad things – cost, for example, it’s £5.99 here in the UK which is a lot for an app. The simulator, too, was a bit sluggish, had reports of crashing, limited number of flying locations and only 4 relatively unheard of aircrafts.

Well, the folks down at Laminar Research, decided to fix some of the issues customers were having by releasing two awesome new apps just before Christmas:

X-Plane-Airliner, and X-Plane-Helicopter. Both are much the same as the original, but, these versions have:

- More commonly known aircraft (in ‘Airliner’ you get the choice of a Boeing 777, 747, 787 and an Airbus A380, while in ‘Helicopter’, you get helicopters… obviously… which is cool)
- LOADS more airports
- Larger flying areas
- And, most importantly, at half price. Thats from $9.99 to $4.99, or £5.99 down to £2.99 where I am.

The app looks awesome. As a result, as soon as I heard the news of the app becoming available, I raced to the app store, read a couple of reviews, brought the Airliner version, and downloaded it.

The app is brilliant. After a couple of months of playing, I can safely say I’ve had no problems with it crashing or anything. The gameplay is fantastic – the accelerometer is very precise, and it’s got all the features of a desktop flight simulator, such as MS Flight Simulator X. I am also getting frequent free updates that are adding new features such as new locations, new planes and other fixes.

More recently, Laminar Research have also produced a fourth app to the X-Plane series, X-Plane-Extreme, that focusses of precise mobility and flying with aircraft such as a B-1 bomber and the F-22 Raptor. On release of this application, the prices of all four games were moved to £5.99 or $9.99 – Annoying for those who wanted to get in on the half price versions.

Later guys.
