Rain, snow, and clouds are available for an instrument flying challenge, and thermals are available for the gliders.
Weather in X-Plane is variable from clear skies and high visibility to thunderstorms with controllable wind, wind shear, turbulence, and micro bursts. If those aren't enough, users can design their own airplanes and test-fly them! Additionally, more than 1,400 additional aircraft models can be downloaded from the Internet (, the Links page, and Google are good places to start looking), many of which are completely free. Aircraft included range from the Bell 206 JetRanger and Cessna 172 to the Space Shuttle and the B-2 Bomber. X-Plane also includes more than 30 aircraft in the default installation, spanning the aviation industry and its history. X-Plane contains subsonic and supersonic flight dynamics, allowing users to predict the flight characteristics of the slowest aircraft or the fastest. Welcome to the world of props, jets, single- and multi-engine airplanes, as well as gliders, helicopters and VTOLs. Because X-Plane predicts the performance and handling of almost any aircraft, it is a great tool for pilots to keep up their currency in a simulator that flies like the real plane, for engineers to predict how a new airplane will fly, and for aviation enthusiasts to explore the world of aircraft flight dynamics.
X-Plane is not a game, but an engineering tool that can be used to predict the flying qualities of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft with incredible accuracy. This industry-leading computer marvel brings users a vast array of 30 aircraft models (with 1,400 additional models available for download - plus the ability to build your own!) over 33,000 worldwide airports a high-resolution database of the Earth from 74° north latitude to 60° south latitude an assortment of diverse, programmable Wx conditions multiple system/component failure options the ability to custom engineer airfoils and a host of other one-of-a-kind features the likes of which the gaming world has never seen! Calling the X-Plane 10 Global Flight Simulator a "flight simulator" is an egregious understatement of the software program's state-of-the-art aviation capabilities that are unmatched by anything else on the market.
