Guide Review - Game for Linux - X-Plane

This highly detailed game will let you land on so many different airports, that you probably won't even find many of them. Fly around Earth or Mars, exploring everything from canyons to craters. Fly one of the default planes, or make you own plane to fly with this realistic flight engine.
