X-Plane 12 is the latest version of the flight simulator series for Windows, Mac and Linux systems.

In this simulator, there is a whole world to discover.

Due to its open structure, all users and enthusiasts can modify every part of it and adapt it to their preferences.

In X-Plane 12, every major aspect of how Laminar Research simulates the world and its effects on aviation has been rewritten based on first-hand physics and real-world data with a relentless pursuit of realism.
