I have installed X-plane on Linux before. While most of the features  
worked, some did not. If you are really serious about wanting to use X- 
plane, I would probably suggest using the platform on which it is  
developed. Apple OSX. I've had better luck on the Mac with X-plane  
than on Linux. It has been a little while, so perhaps some of the bugs  
have been worked out by now.
