It's not a game, it's a simulator. Discover why real pilots choose X-Plane for their flying experience.

X-Plane isn't just any simulator; it's the pinnacle of flight simulation. With the most realistic aircraft and the world at your fingertips, it's the ultimate tool for aviation enthusiasts and professional pilots alike.

▶ "Highly recommended." — Mel Martin, Engadget ◀

▶ Over 1 million downloads! ◀

Experience the reasons real pilots fly X-Plane. It all begins with our advanced flight model, the same one used in our FAA-certified desktop simulator, which is detailed enough to simulate the flex in your wings and the tilt in your landing gear.

Our aircraft, which match the quality of desktop simulators, come with multiple liveries and fully interactive 3-D cockpits. These cockpits are so meticulously designed that you can perform a complete startup procedure, engaging with hundreds of buttons, knobs, and switches. With functional gauges, flight displays, and more, these cockpits are as authentic as those in our full desktop simulator.

But what's an aircraft without a world to explore? That's why we offer *free* regions with detailed terrain, realistic city buildings, and 3-D airports complete with terminal buildings, jetways, hangars, and more.

For an even more expansive experience, subscribe to unlock global scenery, giving you access to over 37,000 airports, with more than 11,500 featuring 3D terminals, hangars, and more.

▶ FEATURES
