X-Plane Flight Simulator description

The most realistic aircraft. The world at your fingertips. It’s not a game, it’s a flight simulator.

▶ "Highly recommended." - Mel Martin, Engadget ◀
▶ Over 1 million downloads! ◀

Come experience why real pilots fly X-Plane.

It starts with the flight model - the same flight model used in our FAA-certified desktop simulator - that’s complete enough to model the flex in your wings & the tilt in your landing gear.

Add to that our desktop-quality aircraft with multiple liveries and interactive 3-D cockpits - so detailed you can do a full startup procedure using the hundreds of buttons, knobs, & switches in the cockpit. With working gauges, flight displays, & more, these cockpits are as realistic as those in our full desktop sim.

But aircraft are no good without a place to fly them. That's why each of our free regions features detailed terrain, lifelike city buildings, & 3-D airports - complete with terminal buildings, jetways, hangars, & more.

Want more? Subscribe to unlock global scenery, and get access to over 37,000 airports, with more than 11,500 airports featuring 3D terminals, hangars, & more.
