Includes over 29 aircraft spanning the aviation industry (and history), and several hundred more are freely downloadable from the Internet.

The package includes 7 double layer DVDs containing the entire world in detailed beauty.

This package includes X-Plane + New worldwide global scenery.

This ships on seven dual-alyer DVDs... each of which contains about 8 gig of scenery, each for a different part of the world.

Install only USA, Canada, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, or Australia to use less than the full 60 GIG of hard drive space, if you like.

Features
X-Plane includes scenery for the entire continental U.S.

You can land at any of thousands of airports, as well as test your mettle on aircraft carriers, helipads on building tops, frigates that pitch and roll in the waves, and oil rigs.

Weather is variable from clear skies and high visibility to thunderstorms with controllable wind, wind shear, turbulence, and microbursts.

Rain, snow and clouds are available for an instrument flying challenge, and thermals are available for the gliders! X-Plane can download real weather data from the internet, allowing you to fly in actual current conditions!

X-Plane also has detailed failure-modeling, with 35 systems that can be failed manually, or randomly when you least expect it! You can fail instruments, engines, flight controls, and landing gear at any moment.

X-Plane includes Plane-Maker which allows you to create your own airplanes, and World-Maker which lets you create your own scenery.

Also included is Weather Briefer which produces a weather briefing based on actual weather conditions downloaded from the net.

X-Plane is extremely customizable, allowing you to easily create textures, sounds, and instrument panels for your own airplanes that you design.
