| Subject: | Van's article on high speed taxi tests |
I recall reading an article some time ago, in the RVator on-line I think,
about why you shouldn't do high speed taxi tests until AFTER your first
flight. But I can't find it. Can any one tell me where to get that?
Thanks,

Has any one used the X-plane simulator program?- It claims to feature RV'

among many other planes (as well as roll-your-own).- Any opinions would b

useful.- It's interesting to me because it runs on Linux.

I have been a user of X-plane for many years.- I am running V8 at the mom
ent because
I cannot handle V9 on my puter.- If you want to fully simulate a flight
from engine start up through taxiing, take off and landing, it is quite pos
sible.
You select your radio frequencies, weather conditions ( I am a VFR pilot
and I fly IFR minimums a lot), aircraft type, the works.- Fly with an eng
ine out
and still get to an airport safely.
www.x-plane.org is the best place to get any type of aircraft imaginable.
-
You can design your own aircraft.
It is a great modern day "Links Trainer".
I flew a 747 out of a 4000 foot field and didn't wreck the aircraft and the
n landed
it in a 30knot crosswind after dodging convective weather enroute.
In summary, you will enjoy it and you can't go wrong with this program.

Now that Microsoft has shut down their simulator work, XPlane is the next
best thing.
There is also the Flight Gear project: http://www.flightgear.org/
Since you are using linux, this is usually already packaged up for most of
the distributions.
We are using XPlane for some research at the Boeing co. Even though there is
internal flight sim sw, it is not so easy to setup and expensive also.
XPlane works pretty well, though not as polished as MS Flight Simulator
was/is.
