Austin Meyers, the developer of X-plane, reports “…….  X-Plane is now here for the iPhone, and it is FUN!

You can choose from the Cirrus Jet, Columbia-400, Cessna 182, and Piaggo Avanti, with flight physics that are about 95% as accurate as X-Plane for desktop, so the flight modeling is really just amazing for a little device of this size…. really just stunning……”.
