Instead, we&#8217;re going to take a look at one each of the three basic types of X-Plane apps: the pure simulator (X-Plane 9, Glider, Extreme, Airliner, and Helicopter), the competition (Carrier and Racing), and the spacecraft simulation (Apollo and Space Shuttle). While the specific experience (aircraft, controls, etc) may vary somewhat, the overall approach will be similar within each of these categories.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.precentral.net\/meta-review-xplane-apollo-carrier-airliner\" >read more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?a=TgYrGFkZYts:zLTGhMaWMlQ:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?a=TgYrGFkZYts:zLTGhMaWMlQ:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?a=TgYrGFkZYts:zLTGhMaWMlQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?i=TgYrGFkZYts:zLTGhMaWMlQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?a=TgYrGFkZYts:zLTGhMaWMlQ:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/Precentralnet\/~4\/TgYrGFkZYts\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since Laminar Research&rsquo;s launch of X-Plane 9 as one of the earliest official webOS 3D games during CES 2010, it has steadily pushed out versions of its other X-Plane games (already on iPhone) for the Palm Pre.
