X-Plane

StrategyPage is reporting that the US Army has chosen X-Plane as its first PC-based simulator.

The U.S. Air Force has finally found a commercial (PC based) flight simulator that works for them. That’s because the game, X-Plane, provides sufficient editing capabilities for aviation engineers to use classified flight characteristics to create simulated warplanes that are realistic enough to allow military pilots to get useful training while using them.

Good news for Austin and his crew, although I can imagine what he’d feel about it being referred to as a “game”!
