EVIDENCE  it is higher quality... multi-pass encoding etc. Gives more control than the Quicktime built-in H.264

X-Plane
Oct 2 2006

PETER COLE  I've been using X-Plane for a few years now and can only say how amazed I am with it. The terrain is about as accurate as is available for almost the entire planet (from the SRTM data set - from NASA). The weather is fantasic (with a real time option too). I have hundreds of planes downloaded from and other sites incl. www.x-plane.org

GPS style maps are avaiable with a dual monitor set-up. The six minute demo was enough for me to know this rocked - and I could still fly after the six minutes, just not use the main flight controls.

If you want a real flight sim (not a game) this is it. Even MS call their Flight sim a game. Although certainly enjoyable, this is not a game. It is used to train real pilots in both fixed wing and helicopters.

X-Plane is worth every cent!

SOREN0  Great review!

I think X-Plane is an awesome flight simulator.

It just gets better and better with each release.

PETER COLE  Wow - this has instantly become my favourite screen saver. Just fantastic. The only disappointment is the lack of sound on my Quicksilver 933 PPC machine. Otherwise my Radeon 9600/256 is lapping this right up!

OneClick

PETER COLE  I am now seriously considering this, as my AppleScript has developed to more than a simple email check function. Still, OneClick from Classic is very dead (over five years now) is likly to stay that way.
