Oct 01 2012 01:00 PM | PaulOBrien in Android

X-Plane 9 - the ultra-realistic flight simulator for Android - is now free to download, shedding it's $2.99 pricetag.

X-Plane, which is also available for desktop platforms, uses 'blade element theory' for the most powerful and accurate flight model available, and has earne FAA certification for logging of flight time for pilots (!).

The free download includes...

6 scenery regions included (15 more available for purchase)
10 different aircraft of varying types (43 more available for purchase)
Fly at Dawn, Day, Dusk, Night
Fly in VFR/IFR conditions from clear skies to overcast.
You control the weather!
Simulated system failures!
Bird Strikes!
Multiplayer over WiFi!
Installs right to your SD card (Froyo/2.2 support required)

It's been a good while since i've played a 'proper' flight simuator... maybe now is the time to start again! I'm interested to hear feedback on the, er 'game' (doesn't seem the right word!) from you guys too.

Head on over to the Google Play store now to get started!
