| StrategyPage: X-Plane Flies Right |
| 2009-01-05 |
| The U.S. Air Force has finally found a commercial (PC based) flight simulator that works for them. That's because the game, X-Plane, provides sufficient editing capabilities for aviation engineers to use classified flight characteristics to create simulated warplanes that are realistic enough to allow military pilots to get useful training while using them. That's a big deal. |

| #1 Dear God, Please keep my flight sim addiction at bay, I overcame it years ago and now this comes out. Don't let me go out and by pedls, a stick and throttle, multiple monitors and even a switchpanel and throttle quadrant. Amen. |
