X-Plane 12

X-Plane 12 – a realistic flight simulator that allows you to fly around the world on a variety of aircraft. Each type of transport has unique characteristics and individual control panels. Professional pilots took part in the development of X-Plane 12, which allows the gameplay to convey the real experience of flying aircraft. Airplanes, helicopters, gliders, etc. are available for flights.

The detailing highlights not only the aircraft, but also the environment. The game features highly detailed water, a wide variety of trees, changing weather conditions and seasons. You can fly the Cessna Citation X, Cirrus SR22, Grumman F-14 Tomcat and many others. Each type of transport allows you to experience a completely different experience from piloting a transport.

In total, there are about 17,000 airports available around the world, including Bella Coola, Portland, San Francisco, etc. The main difference from other flight simulators is that the gameplay is entirely based on the theory of the blade element. This allows you to correctly evaluate the behavior of the propeller. Thus, each individual sub-element of the blade or wing is calculated individually, thereby influencing the aerodynamic force. The gameplay is based on physical quantities such as geometry, mass, engine location, its characteristics, etc. The Earth’s topography is calculated using SRTM.
