Please inform me
if any of these links doesn't work any more.
General X-Plane Sites:
- www.x-plane.com
– the official X-Plane homepage
- www.x-plane.org
– the "X-Plane Registry" is the first place to publish
and look for custom aircraft and sceneries, lots of other
useful stuff, and a discussion forum.
- X-Plane Gateway – lots of links to other
X-Plane web sites
- The
GloS project – free download of global scenery files
for X-Plane
X-Plane Users' Sites
- The Lemonade X-Factory by Marcelo M. Marques
– The best user site I've seen so far, with several outstanding aircraft
to download. Check out his Links
page for more X-Plane-related links.
- Tebor
Aerospace – Sean Tebor makes interesting, very good
looking fictional aircraft designs.
Interesting aircraft-related sites:
- Luft
'46 – a collection of German WW II aircraft designs that
were (luckily) never built. Aircraft designers may find interesting
ideas there to realize in X-Plane.
- LTASI
LLC is designing and building a new generation of
airships. I'm currently working for them on an X-Plane
model of their 30-XB (my first paid aircraft design
job). The specifications are confidential at this
time, but you can see pictures of the ship on their
new
web site (which is still under construction).
Organizations and projects I find worth supporting
- The Rainforest Site – did you know that
trees in the real world disappear almost as fast as if you turn
them off in the X-Plane rendering options? However, turning them on again takes much
longer ... Save a piece of rainforest with one mouse click. Also
contains links to similar sites against hunger and other global
problems.
- climateprediction.net
– help to improve climate modeling and global climate
prediction by running a climate model on your PC!
- MoveOn.org
– if you don't know this organization, take a look, and
if you share most of their points of view, as I do, please
support them if you can.
- The
Planetary Society is the world's biggest privately funded
group supporting planetary exploration and both manned and
unmanned space flight. I've been a member for several years
now.
