In all, about 40 aircraft spanning the aviation industry (and history) with several hundred more which can be freely downloaded from the internet. It also offers subsonic and supersonic flight dynamics, sporting aircraft from the Bell 206 Jet-Ranger helicopter and Cessna 172 light plane to the supersonic Concorde and Mach-3 XB-70 Valkyrie. In this X-Plane demo, you are limited to just one aircraft and five minutes of flight but in the full version, you can take control of props, jets, single- and multi-engine airplanes, as well as gliders, helicopters and VTOLs such as the V-22 Osprey and AV8-B Harrier. Depending on your bandwidth, you will be looking at hours, if not days to download the whole thing. All those scenarios, vectored graphics and flight controls take up a lot of hardrive space.
Once you’ve installed that, a very swanky download dialogue opens to download the other 1.3 gigabytes of the game. Don’t be fooled by the 1.8MB file size in the game description – that’s just the installer.
