This software is more like a game. The garmin 530 does not function like any garmin I have been using during the last 20 years. U can not use it to select approaches. I am having to manually type in every waypoint. If u don't mind this u will love software.

Durability1 / 5Reliability1 / 5Performance1 / 5Ease Of Use1 / 5Value1 / 5Would You Recommend?NoDefinitely Not What I NeededI bought X-Plane 11 with the intent of using it as an instrument flight training aid. I installed it, started it, installed my existing control wheel, and took a short flight in the 172. The rate of climb indicator was indicating above 1000 fpm, but after several minutes the altimeter read about 200 ft. Something definitely wrong! Control was slow and jerky. There was more emphasis on a nice view out the windscreen than on the panel instruments. Then I shut it down and (I thought) moved the program to my desktop for one-click operation. A subsequent effort to start the program failed. I tried to re-install the program, but it complained that it was already installed. So, I'm not out the money and have nothing at all to show for it.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (4)

Durability4 / 5Performance3 / 5Ease Of Use3 / 5Value3 / 5Would You Recommend?YesFlight practiceX-Plane is on OK program for practice flights, which I do, but I would like to see scenery that is a little more realistic. I've used FS-X with MegaScenery Earth scenery and really like the realism - but don't like the Steam version for other reasons.
X-Plane also takes forever to load on my computer and then is slow to reload whenever I want to make setting changes.- Was this review helpful? Yes (1) No (0)

Durability5 / 5Reliability5 / 5Performance5 / 5Ease Of Use3 / 5Value4 / 5Would You Recommend?YesExcellent!!Started with a $59 digital download. Then a video board upgrade. Then a SSD upgrade. Top that with more memory... End up spending $1400 for a new custom gaming rig. A lot of fun. Very realistic. Did some practice IFR approaches and holds. Then figured out how to use Ortho4XP to add photo realism to the background. Haven't seen my wife and kids in weeks. LOLSunset approach to LAX. N172SP via XP 11.- Was this review helpful?

Does it need internet to work?BEST ANSWER: X-Plane 11 license key is checked periodically over the Internet at start up. Updates are also pushed down over the Internet. Real World Weather also requires an Internet connection. However, you can still fly around without an Internet connection.- Reply
