X-Plane comes with 29 aircraft spanning the aviation industry (and history), and several hundred more are freely downloadable from the internet.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Obviously for adults but what age would you recommend in youth?**
A: Good for youth very realistic I have an 11 year old who now knows how a real airplane flys and  has been inspired to learn how to fly. Highly recomend

**Q: Does North America scenery include Hawaii?**
A: Yup!

**Q: I have Yosemite, does anyone know if the yolk and throttles will work or only the joy stick?**
A: It's a strange program. I don't have a yoke and throttle, only a Joystick. That has a throttle on it. I have to go into the set up a lot to get it to work correctly. I think peddles would be a good add on if they work. The Cessna wants to go off the left side of the runway when you throttle up for take off. I suspect that is due to engine torque. I know when I fly a real Cessna, I have to use the rudder peddles which moves the rudder, to compensate for engine torque. Flying the heavy iron in the xplane program does't seem to have that problem. I wish there were some good directions on controls for each plane. How to program auto pilots,GPS, etc.

**Q: is it compatible with El Capitan (mac book pro)?**
A: Yes I use it on the Mac Book Pro, with El Capitan.  Works very well.  I did purchase a joy stick.

    Software for Mac comes on DVDs.  Modern Macs don't have DVDs.
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2015*

Well, where to start...  Let me show you the last email I sent to support at Graphsim..... begin support email.....I bought your regional version of X-Plane 10 for the Mac from Amazon.Since I couldn't get your version installed, I bought a global version from your competitor, Laminar Research, that can be installed on a Macbook Pro via download.Don't the people at Graphic Simulations know that Macs don't have DVD drives and haven't had them for several years? Wouldn't it make sense to either provide a downloadable version or provide the software on a USB thumb drive?I'm not in the software business. It escapes me how professionals could be so blind to the fact that they are selling DVD installation disks for use on computers that don't have DVD drives.I'm out $40. I'm not angry. Honestly, I've spent more on a bad meal trying a new restaurant. I'm more baffled....... end Graphsim support email...So they ship this software on DVDs and modern Macs don't have DVD drives.  Thusf you have a Mac without a DVD, it can't be installed as shipped.It turns out that X-Plane 10 is sold by more than one company.  The logos are the same, the packaging is nearly the same.  If you go to X-Plane.com as I did, assuming that's where the support is, it will take several emails over the better part of a week, then you'll be told that it isn't really their product so they don't support it.  Mind you that website is run by Laminar Research and they presumably wrote the software.  Still Graphsim Entertainment sells the software.  Or so it seemed.  It turns out Graphsim sells the "regional" package, while Laminar Research sells the full "global" package.  LR will upgrade the Graphsim package, though, to the "global" for a fee.  The support fellow at Laminar Research is Randy "S".  He helpfully prints his name at the end of each email and under it is "X-Plane, Customer Support".  It's not "customer support only for 'global' versions" which would have been a little more accurate.  It took him several days for him to get around to telling me this wasn't really their software and to contact Graphsim.  But let me show you his email to me, that's much more entertaining."Hello, Sir.  I see that you purchased one of the various “Regional Editions”, which hare stripped-down versions of our normal and full “Global” program.  That version was done by a company called “Graphic Simulations” and there is no way I can exchange it for a digital copy of our Global edition, Sir.  You can just use that version you purchased until X-Plane 11 comes out in a few years or perhaps try and return it to Amazon and then just buy the regular thing from us, either on DVD or as a Digital Download."Yup, he's been told in every email the whole problem is that I cannot install DVD software on the DVD-less MacBook Pro, yet he suggests I just use this program on DVDs for a few years, or perhaps I'd like to buy his DVDs.So the information you need...1. This Amazon version comes on DVDs.  If your Mac doesn't have a DVD drive, you cannot install the package.2. The packaging doesn't tell you the enclosed media is DVDs. You have to open it to see.  Opened software isn't returnable.  That's a $40 "gotcha"3. The packaging doesn't list a DVD drive under "minimum required"4. There's some sort of ill defined arrangement between Laminar Research and Graphsim. I haven't figured it out and they're not saying.5. The Laminar Research guys won't lift a finger to help anyone who's bought the Graphsim version, even though Laminar Research made the software.5. Finally the support people at the X-Plane website don't support the regional version sold here on Amazon.I did buy the $60 global download package from Laminar Research.  The software is pretty amazing, no problems there, well except for the program crashing after an hour or so with a Mac OS "program crashed" box. Otherwise it runs well on my 15" retina MacBook Pro.  An hour or so with the flight sim is plenty.  I bought the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick ($32 here on Amazon) and the CH Pro Pedals.  I'd buy both of them again. They work well with the program.

    A step backwards
  

*by R***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2015*

This is a product that snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.  Having owned and flown X-Plane 9 for several years, I had high expectations -- most of which were not met.  X-Plane 9 has its quirks and you pretty much need to be an active IFR pilot to use it to its capability, but it does many things well.  Importantly the controls are relatively easy to use and accessible via basic mouse and joystick commands.  X-Plane 10 loads incredibly slowly.  Assigning joystick button commands was OK but took several tries in some instances.  I would have thought the some of the global commands such as a keyboard command for "tower" view or "chase plane" view would be the same as X-Plane 9, but alas, not so.Most annoying, however, is that many of the cockpit views are virtually unusable.  Radios and FMS input heads are located out of view and, even if you can figure out how to scroll over to see them, they are so distant and at such a bad angle that changing radio frequencies or entering FMS data is hard or worse.  Maybe I am clueless, but it was simply not worth the effort to try to crack the X-Plane 10 code.  X-Plane has never been particularly user friendly despite the many interesting features it has.  I was hoping that X-Plane 10 would take all the feedback from X-Plane 9 and be a product that would not require a degree in computer science to use easily.My original X-Plane 9 disc was so heavily used that it finally corrupted.  Having tried X-Plane 10 for a week, I gave up and went back and ordered a new X-Plane 9 set.

    X-Plane 10.x requires substantial amount of RAM and a fast graphics card for 5 year old iMac
  

*by C***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2013*

Great flight simulation program.  However, only gave it 3 stars because if would not operate properly on my iMac.  There was little published about the amount of RAM and graphic card speed necessary for proper operation.I have been an x-Plane user since the old 7.x and 8.x days.  Currently, I am using X-Plane 9.70 and am very happy with the performance.  When I installed x-Plane 10.x all sort of things started going wrong.  Screen freezes, inability to load certain operating criteria, i.e., weather systems.  After several emails to X-Plane, I eventually received an apologetic response saying the speed of my installed graphics card was too slow and that I didn't have enough memory installed - apparently, 4 Gb was not sufficient for X-Plane 10.x.I couldn't justify a $1,200 purchase for a new iMac - so, I am using, and enjoying, X-Plane 9.70.  Much of this could have been avoided if the operating criteria and requirements were clearly published.
