The iPhone version of X-Plane has been updated to version 9.02 and comes with a whole host of new features and updates.
New in version 9.02
- More airports! There are 3 of them now, and the little RMI at the bottom of the HUD points to the closest one.
- Map! It’s in the location screen now. Drag it around… with BOTH fingers! Pull your fingers apart and push them together! Swizzle them around! Watch what the map does!
- The planes now have much nicer-looking propellers.
- Lateral accelerometer calibration as well as vertical! It’s in the SET menu.
- Some little scenery and frame-rate improvements! Kind of nice!
This is a free update for existing owners and can be downloaded here.
It’s good to see the application is getting regular updates. It looks like it’s shaping up into a “proper” simulator

Super!
Got the great news first from your site via email alert, and have downloaded the update.
Getting my colleagues at work to fly the X-Plane is mightily swaying them towards buying an iPhone/iPod Touch - despite what they say, the absolute respect and amazement in their eyes is so gratifying…

I’m sure it’ll sell more than a few iPhones
