X Plane 10 Part 1

X Plane 10 (For iPads)

 You don't miss out on the fun, even if you own an iPad or an iPhone. For free, you can download X Plane 10. There are many other planes to buy, but you can test fly them by going to the plane you want to fly. Click, Free Flight. Swipe to your favourite plane and in the bottom right corner, you will see a button called test flight. You can do a 60 second flight or unlock the plane for 24 hours by sharing it on Facebook. You should start out in a plane when you open it for the first time. Tilt your device left to go left and right to go right. Practice makes perfect. Practice and then click next. To pitch up, bring the top of the device towards you and bring the top of the device away from you to pitch down. Do this a few times because you will be using this to take off and land. The little circle display in the top left corner shows your speed. Set your throttle to idle or 0% and watch it go down. Set it to full and watch it speed up again. In the top left corner, you will see a picture of an eye. You can go to many views. The first one is the one you are already in. The second one shows the HUD that shows important information without having to look for it in your cockpit. The third view is the outside. Pinch to zoom and drag to move the view. The fourth view is a fly-by view. The fifth view is the wing which can be seen from the cockpit by dragging your finger. The last view is from the tail. Now you know the basics, you will be taken to the home screen. Flight School is where you learn things like how to takeoff and even land an A320. The best thing is, in Flight School, you can use the plane for free. But you have to buy it for a free flight. Missions is where you do different things from engine fires to races to flights, but you must purchase the planes to do their missions. If you have friends, you can create a match! Me and my friend, Alexey have done this before. Creating matches, takeoff, landing and more, will be mentioned in another part of the series. I hope this was helpful to those who are reading my blog and stay tuned for more. Happy flying!
