is an amazingly realistic civilian flight simulator.

In depth

A closer look at X-Plane

X-Plane is the first flight simulator to use 3-D terrain elevation maps of the entire country, which provides a truly 3-D scenery rendering. It also features superior flight-modeling, artificially-intelligent air traffic control, dynamic haze-modeling, variable visibility, rain, clouds, wind, wind-shear, visible lightning, fractal-generated thunderstorms with audible thunder, turbulence, snow, thermals, and more.

The airplane is flown with the joystick, while the mouse is used to set the throttle, landing gear, radio frequencies, flaps, and other stuff. You never have to touch the keyboard for the entire flight.

X-Plane also supports dynamic speech synthesis, which allows verbal air traffic control communications.

Note: If you would like air traffic control to talk to you verbally, then you must equip your machine with speech synthesis technology. You can download speech technology from the author's Web site.

X-Plane 12.0

A flight simulator that reproduces the functioning and characteristics of more than 1400 airplanes perfectly. All the types of vehicles are based on reaction aircraft and propulsion aircraft single motors multiple motors helicopters vtol039s and ultralights.

the earth is represented correctly in a complete package of x-plane and it understands the area between 70 degrees south to 70 degrees north. On the surface of the planet mars it is also possible to fly on it. In total there are more than 25,000 airports in all of the world that you can land on using x-plane

the climate is not the only thing that varies in this game, also it comes with programmable failures that puts the pilot to the test in any emergency situation. If you get bored of flying alone you can fly with a friend using the internet or a local network.
