Default X-plane 9

hey, has anyone played this? aside from the fact you get to fly (very realistically, i might add) the X-15 and land the Space Shuttle, you can also fly the F-4 from a carrier, and you can do all sorts of fun stuff with helicopters.

I forgot to mention that with the X-15, you can be airdropped from a B-52 just like the real thing
(I have actually flown it better than Bill Knight, Mach 6.8 )

the game uses a different flight model/engine than FSX. instead of reading the aicraft data, it judges how well that airfoil would work actually going through the air.

its really fun (although it really messes up my refresh rate from time to time)
and i really suggest buying it if you havent done so
