It has less eye candy and unfortunately less add-ons available compared to Microsoft Flight Simulator, but X-Plane flight and physics modeling is better in several areas. Marco

"Kevin" ha scritto nel messaggio oups.com... Is the x-plane game from mac stores compatible with the one from the website? Surely. X-Files is released in 3 different versions: for Mac, Windows, and Linux. On the website all 3 versions are available for upgrading. Upgrade is free from version .00 to version .99 (for example, if you bought X-Plane 8.00, you get free upgrades up to version 8.99). Marco

Hi,

Upgrade is free from version .00 to version .99 (for example, if you bought X-Plane 8.00, you get free upgrades up to version 8.99). That is only partially correct. The upgrade from 8.1x or 8.0x to 8.2x and later does cost some money. That is due to the introduction of the "new" global scenery, which comes on several DVDs. Tjark

That is due to the introduction of the "new" global scenery, which comes on several DVDs. No, that is not correct. Even without Global Scenery, upgrades to newer versions are still available (for example, I don't have Global Scenery, but I have upgraded from 8.00 to 8.30). The confusion arised from the fact that the version 8.21 was just version 8.20 modified to work with Global Scenery. Later versions (8.30 and versions yet-to-come) will work both with or without Global Scenery. Marco
