ground effect, wind gusts, and more will give you the most accurate flight sim
experience possible. Try it today!

DETAILED WORLD AND ATMOSPHERE

As you explore the X-Plane world, the weather, water, light, 3-D forests, and
everything around you add to the immersion.

ANALYZE AND REFINE YOUR FLYING

There’s no end to the customization you can make to your flight simulator
experience. Adjust your approach scenarios, get real-time feedback, and use
tools like X-Plane’s replays to study and improve your skills and confidence
over time.
