going to be porting his simulator to Linux. X-Plane is an incredible
flight simulator which models flight dynamics by using blade-element
theory. Many big companies use X-Plane for development. Currently
only the support programs (the programs that build the planes,
scenery, airfoils) are available but the full application should be
available soon, according to the website. Along side with the
open-sourced Flightgear, this certainly is good news for flight
simulator fans that use Linux."


you can download the linux port @ http://www.x-plane.com
