X-Plane

A collaborative tutorial for the use of the X-Plane flight simulation software, and it's accompanying PlaneMaker aircraft design tool. X-Plane is a leading home computer flight simulator, using advanced physics to simulate aircraft performance, and in some installations is an FAA-approved training tool. PlaneMaker allows the creation of virtually any aircraft imaginable, with very realistic results, and has been employed by real-world aircraft manufacturers in design, training and demonstration of real-world aircraft. This wiki intends to be a comprehensive, user-created tutorial of the software's operation and hidden tips.
