You can request services for your plane, like catering, fuel, and more. I’ve seen activity in flight sims before, but not like this. The airport simulation is like nothing I’ve ever seen in a flight sim before. Each of the selections provide the ability to play with military (modern and historical), professional, and personal aircraft complete with proper takeoff and landing mechanics and communication with the tower and airport interactivity. Now, there’s new aircraft in X-Plane 11: Boeing 737-800, McDonnell Douglas MD-80, and Sikorsky S-76. There’s a good range of aircraft to select, such as: Schleicher ASK 21, Beechcraft Baron 58, Boeing 747-400, Cirrus Vision SF50, Beechcraft King Air C90, and Cessna 172SP. Also new to X-Plane 11 is Flight School, so now you can go through the basics and complexities of flight to get acquainted with the physics and handling of X-Plane 11. This is designed from the ground-up to be an experience you craft for yourself, and others. X-Plane 11 is a suite that includes a Plane Maker application to make your own airplanes and helicopters, Airfoil Maker to make airfoils for custom aircraft, and X-Plane, the flight simulator itself. X-Plane 11 does include free DLC on Steam for Global Scenery for every region of the world, which provides authenticity and familiarity to your flying. The reason why something like Aerofly FS 2 runs so well as that it doesn’t haven’t to compute all those things, and why it looks better as a result. Because everything going on, from air traffic to a fully functioning airport to a rendered world, the game doesn’t run as well as you’d might imagine. While there are many flight simulators out there, X-Plane 11 entered 2017 with modern looks and feels. You’ll now see wings flex during stress and tires smoke upon landing. There’s been updates to US and EU, including different vehicles used at airports. X-Plane 10 ran in 64-bit, and so does X-Plane 11, but now the game runs in higher detail with a fully rendered world. All planes have 3D cockpits, meaning they are all interactive and even ones that were 3D before now have more interactive elements. The UI has been completely redone and is scalable. X-Plane 11 is exemplary, and exciting with its breadth of content and realistic representation of our world and aircraft on an unprecedented scale. Though, veterans will find a lot of depth that puts on-par with real-life training. X-Plane 11 is also highly detailed, and accessible to novice pilots and gamers alike. After feedback over the previous entry, they have made changes to the user interface and usability to make it one of the best interfaces in the series history, but of all flight simulators. X-Plane 11 is Laminar Research’s latest outing with the series. Pilot figures including pilot, co-pilot, and loadmaster. ![]() ![]() 3 flyable models: radar pod, no radar pod, and bare metal.Here is the next aircraft released in the DHC4 C-7a Caribou. X-Hangar are converting their aircraft quickly to X-Plane 12, not a week goes by without another aircraft released. The United States Army ordered 173 in 1959 and took delivery in 1961 under the designation AC-1, which was changed to CV-2 Caribou in 1962. The Caribou was primarily a military tactical transport that in commercial service found itself a small niche in cargo hauling. The Caribou, however, was similar in concept in that it was designed as a rugged STOL utility aircraft. The de Havilland Canada company's third STOL design was a big step up in size compared to its earlier DHC Beaver and DHC Otter, and was the first DHC design powered by two engines. The Caribou was first flown in 1958 and although mainly retired from military operations, is still in use in small numbers as a rugged "bush" aircraft. The de Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou (designated by the United States military as the CV-2 and later C-7 Caribou) is a Canadian-designed and produced specialized cargo aircraft with short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability. My connection with the aircraft was with the large numbers at my closest Australian RAAF Amberley airbase, so they were very frequent and active around our local skies, sadly the DHC-4 are now all retired, but there are still a few left around to look at, at airshows and in museums. It's an odd looking critter of an aircraft, but one with amazing short field performance and clever STOL (ShortLanding and Takeoff) abilities.
