Find out why real pilots fly X-Plane

It all starts with a flight model, the same flight model used in our FAA-certified desktop simulator, that is complete enough to simulate the pitch of the wings and the pitch of the landing gear.

Add to that our desktop-quality aircraft with tons of color and interactive 3D cockpits; It's so detailed that you can perform the entire startup procedure using hundreds of buttons, knobs and switches in the cockpit. With working instruments, flight displays and more, these cockpits are as realistic as those in our desktop simulator.

But planes are useless if they have nowhere to fly. That's why each of our free zones features detailed terrains, realistic city buildings and 3D airports with terminal buildings, jetways, hangars and more.

12/19/2019 The update looks terrible even at basic settings, and looks equally terrible at maximum settings. 10.2019 Super is being deleted! I would like to see a feature in new updates such as if I select the screenshot from the cockpit, the image will change when I turn my head.
