The higher resolution mesh allows for a much more detailed representation of the elevation profile of the landscape.It is a much higher resolution base mesh (more, smaller triangles) compared to the default Global Scenery which ships with X-Plane 10 (one could say: approximately 3-4-times more dense).(some improvements were mostly in v2 too, but some are new to v3)
It is universal, and it's optimized for iPhone 5 and 6 series phones.Detailed coverage map (NOT the download map – look further down the page!) General characteristics I hesitate to call X-Plane a game, as it is a great simulation of flight. You may be tempted to buy some fancier planes, or just enjoy the free stuff. This free version of X-Plane is a nice gift to the iOS community. You can lose hours just flying around, doing some sightseeing, and landing again. On my iPad Air, the graphics are smooth and the terrain and flight instruments are very detailed. X-Plane is impressive software for any computer platform. A built-in flight school will teach you about the basics of flying. With Game Center, you can participate in multi-player adventures. Planes you can add as purchases include an F-22 Raptor, an F-4 Phantom and seven more aircraft including the Airbus A320 jetliner. X-Plane lets you decide the time of day you are going to fly in. Cities are rendered with 3D buildings that sparkle at night. Like the version that runs on the Mac, you can set equipment failures and really horrible weather to fly in. A tap gives you views outside the plane from multiple angles. You can look freely around the cockpit by dragging your finger.
The free version lets you fly a Cessna 172, and gives you access to all the scenery areas including The Grand Canyon, Seattle, Alaska, Hawaii and the mountains of Austria.
X-Plane 10 is free, but if you want additional planes there are a few in-app purchases. Today, the creators of X-Plane have released a brand new version for iOS devices. It's accurate enough to have received FAA certification for some phases of flight training, and TUAW editor Steve Sande even mentioned seeing airline pilots waiting to get on their aircraft "playing" with X-Plane 9 on their iPhones. X-Plane is the premier flight simulator for Mac, Windows and Linux computers as well as iOS.
