Hi…I'm totally new to any version of X-plane, so I'm finding it amazing. If anyone has links to any sort of documentation that would be of help to someone new, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am amazed that this game is playing so smoothly on my fricking iPhone! As soon as I saw t listed I bought it.

You can choose from a verity of different situations to play from. The best part is the live view switching!! You can play as a chase plane and have full 360 degree view of plane in front of you. Very nice. some suggestions: In "plane view" it would be nice if the altitude and the speed were shown. But I'm sure they are already working on that.

maybe you've got the "mute" function on your iphone? of if you have ipod touch go to options and try increasing the vol?

No Sound!

Great Game
Awesome Graphics
No Sound
Need Manual
Great Graphics
All Settings Menu Does is drop you to your death in a sick powerless dive to face plant into mother earth.

I'm not seeing that this link works for the iTunes store… might someone else have another? Has it only been released in the UK?

We end up trying to compare the iPhone graphics to PSP graphics. Let's put it this way. The iPhone plays games a lot better than the PSP works as a telephone. I suppose that's the problem when you buy a versatile device. It's going to be compared to device that was mainly built to play games. I own a PSP and like it so I'm torn between both it and the iPhone. I'll be buying an iPod Touch very shortly.

I didn't find any non-combat flight simulators for the PSP, but most of their flight games cost about $30, so $10 isn't too bad for the iPhone.

i think its awesome… am not into x-plane but into MS FS2004 and IMHO i would like to see more stuff like maybe a few locations and airport details…. more airplane but insted of like having all airplane istalled whould it be better to have a way to download aircraft frome the iphone itself using the x-plane app itself… like how TTR dowloads its tracks… what do u guys think??

I believe the green lines represent the amount of lift…shorter = less, longer = more.
