But I can't find it. Can any one tell me where to get that?

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.

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. On Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 6:53 PM, Dave Nellis wrote: > > I have been a user of X-plane for many years.
