It's free (click the image on the left to download), but if you like it then maybe you would like to support its future development (or buy me a beer/servo/LiPo etc!): Donation amount Option 1 $2.00 USD Option 2 $5.00 USD Option 3 $10.00 USD. FlightGear is a complex flight simulator project designed for use in academic environments, as an industry engineering tool, pilot training platform, as well as an engaging and challenging desktop flight simulator. Furthermore, FlightGear comes with support for standard 3D model formats. HELI-X is a professional R/C flight simulator for helicopters, planes and multicopters. Our mission: Best possible real-time physics based on modern mathematical methods. Availability for Windows, Mac-OS X and Linux. Many training scenarios so that your practice makes fun. Fair price and free updates.
X-Plane is the most powerful and accurate flight simulator available for personal computers, but it doesn’t just run on Windows; the version of X-Plane sold here at X-Plane.com runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. In fact, X-Plane is developed primarily on Macs.
In the past, we’ve called the Mac our secret weapon. Here’s what owner and developer Austin Meyer has to say about it:
People ask me all the time: “Austin, how can you compete with bigger companies? You cannot possibly stay in the flight sim business! You will be out of business by the end of the year!” (Never mind that they have been saying that since X-Plane was introduced in 1994!)
Part of the answer to that question is that I have a secret weapon that helps me develop X-Plane at a much faster rate than any would-be competitors. While other teams are struggling to keep their organization and computers working, I and my team are able to work quickly and freely with no computer glitches holding us back, unlike almost everyone else using computers today.
Naturally, I can not tell you what this secret weapon is, because I do not want to give away my competitive advantage!
The bottom line: X-Plane 10 Global is 100% compatible with Macs. You just need a high-end iMac or MacBook Pro. We do not recommend the “Mac Pro” as the top-of-the-line iMac will get similar or better performance for less money.
So go ahead. Give it a try. Download the Mac Demo today and experience flight simulation as it was meant to be—incredibly accurate, incredibly beautiful, and running on a Mac! Or, if you’re ready to move up to the full version, order X-Plane from us and get a copy of X-Plane 10 Global guaranteed to run on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.

RC Quadcopter Racing Simulator.
First person view (FPV) and line of sight (LOS) flying available.
Supports mode 1,2,3 and 4.
It is highly recommended to use a USB controller. Most USB controllers should work*
Includes self-leveling and acro mode. In the full version 3d flight mode is also available (for inverted flying).
Six sceneries are included as well as a Racetrack Generator that can generate millions of tracks automatically using procedural generation. There is a demo version that you can try for free which includes one scenery. The demo has a deliberately sluggish quad setup. In the full version you have the ability to adjust settings for input rates, camera and physics precisely to your liking.
Fly (and crash!) all you want regardless of rain, wind, sleet or snow - all for the price of a few replacement props.

* Controllers that have been succesfully used include FrSKY Taranis, Spektrum, Devo, Turnigy, Flysky, Eachine, Graupner and Futaba RC radios, Realflight and Esky USB Controllers, Xbox, Playstation and Logitech gamepads. Please try the free demo version to see if it will work with your controller.
If you have a Taranis and are running Windows you will want to check out this document on how to setup your controller to work with the simulator:
