--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


LOOKING FOR THE BEST FLIGHT SIMULATOR?

Watch our trailer for a tour of the new features and enhancements in X-Plane 12.




MATH AND PHYSICS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our commitment to realism in the X-Plane flight simulator starts with first
principle physics, a mountain of math, and decades of real-world flight
experience. Our development team has spent 30+ years refining the rendering
engine and mechanics for a blisteringly authentic flight experience.

You’re in complete control inside the cockpit: fly any aircraft, anywhere in the
world, in any type of weather conditions. We’ll provide an ultra-realistic
combination of lift, drag, wind, turbulence, scenery, flight controls, and more.
Feel every force acting on every piece of the aircraft in real-time. It’s
something you can’t replicate in a free flight simulator or even the most
cinematic airplane games.

X-Plane 12 runs on Mac, Windows, Linux and mobile platforms.

NEW IN X-PLANE 12

This is flight simulation, done right.

WorldAirportsWeather


PHOTOMETRIC LIGHTING ENGINE

Light brightness, intensity, spread, and more – all computed in real time with
the laws of physics.


3D WATER

Gorgeous global water rendering, complete with wave height controls and
floatplane interaction based on feedback from expert pilots.


SEASONAL EFFECTS

Tree color and leaf coverage vary to show season – snow accumulates, too!


TROPICAL WATER COLORS

Gorgeous, geographically-aware water colors.


3D FORESTS AND VEGETATION

Large variety of 3D trees with variation of species, size, and seasonal effects.
They even sway in the wind.


AMBIENT SOUNDS

The entire world now comes to life with FMOD sound – birds in the forest, cars
in the cities and of course, ground service vehicles.


TOWER KIT

Custom suite of endless control tower variation, easy to use for maximal
realism.


ANIMATED JETWAYS

Jetways move to meet your aircraft when parked at the gate.


LOCALIZED ATC PROCEDURES/VOICES

Air Traffic Control follow regional procedures and accents around the world.


PAVEMENT EFFECTS

Airport artists can choose from a library of pavement effects to perfectly
capture the look-and-feel of airports by setting level of cracking, oil spills,
pavement material, and more.


VOLUMETRIC 3D CLOUDS

Immersive clouds to fully capture the sensation of flight.


REAL WEATHER

Proprietary algorithms to turn data from the real world into X-Plane weather.


WAKE TURBULENCE

Powerful streams of upset air left in the atmosphere by other aircraft – just
like real life.


MICROBURSTS

Small, powerful downdrafts – perfectly modeled with pilot training in mind.


THERMALS

Terrain-generated updrafts that allow gilders to gain altitude without a tow
plane.


SNOW, RAIN AND ICE ACCUMULATION

Precipitation now accumulates on surfaces, freezing or thawing based on
temperature.


AIRCRAFT



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


CESSNA 172SP

The Cessna 172SP is a single-engine, fixed-wing aircraft with a tricycle landing
gear. It has a cruise speed of 122 knots and a range of 696 nautical miles. More
C172s have been built than any other aircraft, making it the most successful
plane in history.

I started building my Airbus inspired home cockpit a very long time ago...
X-Plane is the ideal base for a project like this.


ALEXANDER K.

X-Plane inspired me to pursue a career in aviation.


TYLER L.

During all my training, X-Plane proved to be a very valuable training aid.


FILIPPO S.

I have satisfied my aviation dreams with X-Plane. What an amazing program!


KRIS B.

Since the beginning, we have used X-Plane in our 42-station Flight Simulation
Lab, starting with version 6.70, as an activity to bring together our classroom
and lab lessons in basic aerodynamics and aeronautics.


PEACH STATE STARBASE

X-Plane caught my attention in terms of simulating a large complexity in real
time in a non-linear manner, this was computationally very impressive to me.


MARTIN P.

And after doing some research, X-Plane won hands down...I couldn’t be more
happier with the decision.
