About

Since 1995, X-Plane has been at the forefront of flight simulation, continually pushing the boundaries of realism and immersion. X-Plane 12 carries this legacy forward, offering a state-of-the-art simulator that combines real-world physics, unprecedented systems depth, and a true-to-life simulation of the world. Whether you're an aspiring pilot, an aviation enthusiast, or simply seeking an unmatched flying experience, X-Plane 12 is the go-to platform for any aviation fan.


X-Plane 12 takes immersion to new heights with its dramatically improved volumetric clouds and real live weather system. The new volumetric clouds create stunning, dynamic skies that evolve with the weather. Paired with our revamped live weather feature, which updates conditions in real-time based on global meteorological data, every flight feels truly authentic.


X-Plane 12 introduces a new lighting model that transforms the visual experience. With photometric lighting, every surface is rendered with real light intensities, capturing the subtleties of natural light across different times of day and weather conditions. The addition of bloom effects further enhances realism, creating stunning visuals and making every moment feel more vibrant and authentic.


X-Plane 12 redefines environmental realism with its enhanced scenery features. The world comes to life with new 3D trees that sway in the wind, realistic 3D water that reacts naturally to weather, and updated autogen that brings cities and landscapes to vivid detail. Airports are more immersive than ever with fresh textures, moving boats, and over 20,000 3D airports sourced from the X-Plane Gateway, each with unique, community-driven enhancements. Whether flying low over dense forests or landing at a bustling airport, X-Plane 12's scenery creates an unparalleled sense of place and realism.

Reviews
X-plane is a great simulator. I initially had some crashes when I first installed which concerned me, but since it very rarely crashed, as opposed to Microsoft which crashes before I can even finish a 1hr flight. X-plane performs better too, even with loads of graphics mods (providing the mods are programmed well enough). Definitely choose this over Microsoft if you have a low-mid spec PC. The flight model is really good, the aircraft has some "weight" to it, doesn't feel arcade-y. Has proper ground effect, for example when de-crabbing on a crosswind landing you have to lift the opposite wing when you hit the rudder! The automatic replay recording and the camera system works really well for revisiting your flights. The menu is very much like an application vs a game, but it's much better to use. I found the key and joystick binding works well. I have a yoke, throttle quadrant, rudders, a HOTAS and controllers all plugged in and with bindings across multiple profiles - works great. This sim really shines when it comes to the community. The community have produced a ridiculous amount of mods that do all sorts of wonderful things, with a great selection of freeware mods, and professional grade paid ones. I would 100% recommend getting some graphics mods. Scenery (SimHeaven), ReShade, Xplane Map Enhancement are a must for me. There are thousands of bit of scenery out there, you're only constrained by disk space. The planes that come with it are ok, but I mostly use the one and only Zibo 737, it's worth getting the sim just for this, but there are hundreds of fantastic aircraft available with high detail systems modelling. The Colimata Concorde is a great example of the level of detail on offer. If you like to fly small planes VFR you may want to go with Microsoft due to the graphical limitations. Airliners and cargo though... you're in for a good time. If you love aviation, realism, and in-depth simulation, with no random crashes and framerate drops, then get this.

ES INCREIBLE EL SIMULADOR
It's a wonderful flight sim, but it does require a lot of reading, tweaking, testing, and of course flying before you can fully enjoy it. I fly in VR mode and that is totally awesome. The only disadvantage I see sofar is the rudder pedal response curve. In my opion (and I only fly GA) the default curve is totally useless and beside true life behavior, for a single engine plane. Other than that, it's awesome
baguih dah la ni. Scenery pun nampak elok dari dulu. Loading pun cepat juga. Fizik kapal terbang pun baguih. Boleh la try
Игра мусор, если у вас есть Xplane11 не берите. В игре куча проблем, от пиксельных экранов до диких лагов и просадок. Подал на возврат, продолжу летать в xplane 11.
игра крутая НО если слабый пк НЕ ПОКУПАЙТЕ я купил и не играю лагает жесть
