[/caption]The iPad's screen is beautiful, large, colorful, crisp etc. It is perfect for the applications that were and are being developed for it. One of the best apps to really bring out the detail and graphic abilities of the iPad is the newly developed iPad version of the X-Plane flight simulator.
X-Plane has long since been dominating the flight simulator market. There is a huge choice of X-15's, F-22's, airliners, light planes, aircraft carriers, fighter jets, and a lot more in their flight simulators. The iPad versions has all these and more.
The iPad version of X-Plane has new scenery terrain data that is at a much higher resolution than X-Plane for the iPhone. The terrain textures are four times as detailed in this app then in their previous mobile simulations.
The iPad's power and accelerometer allow for a flying interface to the cockpit that is amazing. The flight control is simple and easy to use.
The iPad's incredible processors allow 3D buildings to dot the terrain and the stunning graphics and new instrument panels make your virtual flight almost real.
In the iPad version, there is even background Air Traffic Control radio chatter that gives you the sense of being in a real cockpit.
There are airport terminal buildings as Seattle, San Francisco, and Innsbruk, Austria. Landing and take-offs are just so realistic.
This version of X-Plane uses less memory by optimizing memory usage more precisely. This allows you to run the app for longer periods of time, even if you haven't restarted your iPad to reset memory!
X-Plane for iPad is compatible with the iPad only, as there is a separate version for the iPhone, and requires iPhone OS 3.2 or later.
It is rated ages 4+. This rating can only be explained by the fact that someone younger than 4 years of age is probably not going to be interested in the app, however, don't take that for a fact... you never know. One day you may come home to your toddler flying an F-22 perfectly and just as you arrive he or she lands the airplane perfectly and shuts down the app. :)
[rating: 5/5]
This apps excellent graphics, sound, resolution, user experience and popularity show that this is clearly a much loved and very well developed application.
