Tak ja dám tiež jedno hodnotenie zo steamu ![](images/smile/01.gif)
Ja ich dám radšej viac, lebo si si ich asi nevšimol Kto chce nájde čo hľadá, však?
*Sim Game- For Professionals and not average gamer*
Being a pilot in real life, I used the commercial version of Xplane for my flight training. For those negative reviewers, they do not understand that this really is not a game, but a educational tool. Of course graphics and gameplay may not be up to par, because it isn't meant to be a "game". For casual players, get microsoft flight sim X. Xplane is only for the core aviation sim lover/training.
Stop complaining if you bought this expecting an experience like Flight Sim or War Thunder, you should have done your research.
For more than 20 years I have used Microsoft's flight simulators for training and entertainment, but with very positive reviews from fellow pilots and the flight simulator onine community I decided to give this one a try.
Being a professional pilot, my review will only affect those areas of interest for using the simulator as a training platform. For example, I don't care much for how pretty the graphics are.
The aerodynamic model is said to be generated in situ, like a wind-tunnel model, which makes the behaviour of the aircraft much more realistic than any other simulator I've used before.
The weather engine simulates proper low visibility, icing and turbulece, however the clouds have a huge effect on computer performance (framerates) and a very decent pc is required to run this simulator.
Needless to say this simulator is worthless without a good joystick. My own setup contains a yoke, rudder pedals and a throttle quadrant. The configuration of all the switches, handles and axis are somewhat harder to figure out compared the FSX, but the flexibility is much better in the end.
The default aircraft that come with x-plane are of comparible quality of the FSX default aircraft, and therefore utterly useless. Where FSX has hundreds of good (often payware) addon-aircraft, X-plane only has a handfull. I purchased x-plane mostly as a future investment in anticipation of better add-on aircraft. I am very positive about the Saab 340 from x-aviation .com
The manipulation of buttons and switches in the virtual cockpits are not as intuitive as in FSX and even when bound to hardware buttons, setting radios and instruments can be quite a pain. Especially for flying modern aircraft with lot's of automation this is a bit of a pain.
Overall I would recommend it, when used properly it can be a usefull training tool.
Easa commercial pilot with 3000 hours on twin pistons and turboprops.
It's a simulator, not a game. There's no built-in tutorials or missions to complete, no background music, it's just a very good simulation engine that's still being developed and improved. Out of the box it's IMHO not very pretty, ATC is beyond horrible (for pilots who know the ICAO phraseology at least) and it comes with only a few "basic" aircraft (a large airliner, a few GA aircraft [including a "standard" C172], a few military and experimental jets) but the community provides tons of free addons in the form of more aircraft, realistic terrain, textures derived from google maps, object placement derived from OpenStreetMap, better designed airports and customizations for almost all aspects of the sim. Have a look at the screenshots section
to get a feel of what's possible.
If you just like to fly aircraft realistically around scenery and/or navaids without someone telling you what to do, then this is for you.
If you need tutorials, fancy missions or more arcade-style "gameplay" then you better stick to FSX, P3D. |
